Blessing in disguise

blessing in disguise (or a blessing in disguise, (phrase)

រឿង​អាក្រក់​ប្រែជាល្អ, ជួប​ជោគអាក្រក់​ តែបែរ​ជាល្អទៅវិញ​​
something that seems terrible, but actually produces positive result,
or an apparent misfortune that eventually has good results:

Example 1

Example 2:
Being omitted from the World Cup squad was a blessing in disguise.
