PETALING JAYA: Vietnam proved to be too strong as they edged Malaysia 1-0 in their 2022 World Cup-2023 Asian Cup Group G qualifying match at the My Dinh Stadium in Hanoi on Thursday (Oct 10).
The Golden Dragons got their winner through Nguyen Quang Hai's strike in the 40th minute.
The Harimau Malaya's second defeat in the group drops them to fourth spot in a group of five teams, with three points from three matches.
Vietnam are second in the group with four points behind leaders Thailand, who are also on four points but top the table with a better goal difference.
United Arab Emirates (UAE), who like Malaysia have three points, are placed third above Malaysia on better goal difference, while Indonesia are lying at the bottom without a point.
Malaysia had opened their World Cup qualifying campaign with a 3-2 win over Indonesia on Sept 5 in Jakarta, but then lost 1-2 to the UAE at home on Sept 10.
