At the end of the second half, round two of Group F, the final qualifying round of the 2027 Asian Cup, the Malaysian team won 4-0 against the Vietnamese team, taking the top spot in the group.

After the first half, when they were somewhat more dominant but failed to score, the home team attacked the Vietnamese team's goal and scored 3 consecutive goals within the first 20 minutes of the second half, in the 49th, 59th and 67th minutes.

Although the Vietnamese team actively pushed up their formation to find a goal to shorten the score, the Malaysian defense defended very tightly.

Tuan Hai had several opportunities to penetrate Malaysia's penalty area, but could not take advantage of the scoring opportunities due to the great pressure from Malaysia's defense.

Tien Linh also made a dangerous header in the 79th minute but could not beat the opposing team's goalkeeper. The pressure from the home team made the Vietnamese team's defense unable to hold on, and goalkeeper Filip Nguyen had to pick the ball out of the net again in the 88th minute.

Malaysia is considered the most formidable opponent in Group F in the final qualifying round of the 2027 Asian Cup when naturalizing 7 quality players after the 2024 ASEAN Cup.

In this match against the Vietnamese team at home, Malaysia's official lineup includes 9 naturalized players.

With this result, Vietnam lost the top spot in Group F and has very little chance of winning a ticket to the 2027 Asian Cup in Saudi Arabia./.
