The result underlined the home side’s growing authority in the competition and extended their unbeaten run to six matches.

From the opening whistle, Shan Utd U20 took control of the midfield. Their high press forced Mahar United into repeated errors, and it took just 12 minutes for the deadlock to be broken. A sweeping move down the left flank ended with a precise cross that was met by Kyaw Zin Hein, who headed home from close range. The goal set the tone for a one-sided first half.

First‑half dominance

By the 35th minute, Shan Utd had doubled their lead. Aung Myat Soe collected a loose ball 25 yards out and unleashed a fierce drive that nestled into the top corner. The visitors’ goalkeeper, Hein Htet Aung, managed to make a series of saves but could do little to stem the tide. Just before the interval, Ye Yint Tun latched onto a through‑ball and calmly slotted past the keeper to make it 3–0.

Second‑half consolidation

Mahar United improved slightly after the restart, enjoying a brief spell of possession, but they rarely threatened the Shan Utd goal. The home side remained clinical on the counter. In the 63rd minute, substitute Thura Soe tapped in from a corner for the fourth goal. The scoring was completed in the 78th minute when Zaw Min Oo rounded the keeper after a neat one‑two and finished into an empty net.

Shan Utd U20’s defensive unit, marshalled by captain Pyae Sone Naing, recorded their fourth clean sheet in five games. For Mahar United, the loss leaves them in the bottom half of the table, while Shan Utd move to second place with a game in hand on the leaders.
