Early goals from Firdaus Idros and Peres De Oliveira set Home United FC on the way to a big win over the visiting Club Valencia from Maldives in last night's AFC Cup encounter.
Barely two minutes after kick-off, Firdaus Idros reacted quickest when Fadzuhasny Juraimi's shot smashed the bar to give Home United the early advantage. As Club Valencia were hoping to accustom themselves to the artificial pitch of Jalan Besar Stadium in the early minutes, Home United punished them with two quick-fire goals. The second was scored by Peres De Oliveira, whose pin-point header found the bottom left corner.
Thereafter, Home United were cruising at top speed, attacking Club Valencia relentlessly. Their efforts paid off with another two goals coming from Kengne Ludovick and Juma'at Jantan. Kengne Ludovick's goal was a beauty. Peres laid the ball across the edge of the penalty box and Ludovick smashed a low shot into the bottom left corner. Valencia custodian had no chance to save the well placed shot.
Coming into the seocnd half four goals to the good, Peres was replaced by Shi Jiayi. Home United struggled to repeat their first half performance. Club Valencia gave a better second half account, creating plenty of chances but could only score a consolation through Marcelin Nkmeni.
With this win, Home United FC tops Group H ahead of Binh Duong and PEA, who drew 1-1 in an earlier match.
Home United's next enocunter will be a trip to Vietnam to face Becamex Binh Duong FC.
