Suffering a fatal blow from the opponent, Vietnam fell to 2nd place in Group F, with 3 points after 2 matches, goal difference +1, while Malaysia led with 2 wins (6 points), goal difference +6. This means that the pressure is increasing for coach Kim Sang Sik and his students in the remaining matches of the final qualifying round for the goal of getting a ticket to the 2027 Asian Cup .

Kyung Hyang called Vietnam's defeat to Malaysia a " shock " after a series of 5 consecutive wins against their opponents.

“ The Vietnamese team suffered a bitter defeat to Malaysia 2 years and 6 months after the 3-0 victory over their opponent in the group stage of the AFF Cup 2022 under coach Park Hang Seo.

The defeat of Mr. Kim Sang Sik and his students on the evening of June 10 was a huge shock as this was their first disastrous defeat after a series of 5 consecutive victories against Malaysia.

Vietnam had a tight first half, drawing 0-0 with Malaysia, but in the second half, the match fell apart, conceding 4 goals in a row. The painful defeat caused them to fall to 2nd place in Group F, seriously threatening their chance to officially qualify for the 2027 Asian Cup.

The group also includes Laos and Nepal, but in terms of objective strength, the top spot is only a competition between Malaysia and Vietnam.

Coach Kim and his team will have two more matches against Nepal (October 9 and 14), meet Laos again (November 18) and close the final qualifying round of the Asian Cup by hosting Malaysia on March 31, 2026 .
