Photo of Viettel FC HÀ NỘI — Viettel coach Bae Ji-won hopes his team will take their second win in the AFC Cup when they face Phnom Penh Crown of Cambodia today in a Group I fixture at the Thống Nhất Stadium in HCM City. The emphatic 5-1 win over Young Elephants of Laos on Friday was a boost for the South Korean manager, although he was not wholly satisfied with the former V.League 1 champion's performance. "Despite scoring many goals, I don't think we played very well," said Bae. "We were not focused when we conceded. My goalkeeper lost his concentration and our opponents took advantage to score."
