Asian Cup 2027 Final Qualifying Round Rankings: Vietnam Still Below Malaysia

VHO - A narrow 1-0 victory over Nepal in the fourth match of Group F helps the Vietnamese team continue to nurture hopes of qualifying for the 2027 Asian Cup finals.

Despite creating many dangerous chances, the Vietnamese team only scored 1 goal against the Nepal team. However, this victory was very necessary because the team had 3 more points to continue the race in Group F.

Previously, the Vietnamese team hosted Nepal at Go Dau Stadium (HCMC) and won 3-1 despite the opponent's great efforts.

Two wins against Nepal helped coach Kim Sang-sik's team accumulate a maximum of 6 points.

However, the Malaysian team still has the advantage in Group F when this team won all 4 matches, reaching 12 points, leading the group.

In the fourth match, the Malaysian team, although trailing Laos 1-0 after the first half, scored 5 goals in a row in the second half to beat their opponents 5-1.

Previously, this team also won 3-1 on Laos' field in the third match.

Thus, after the fourth round of Group F, the Malaysian team with 4 wins, reaching 12 absolute points, continues to lead.

Meanwhile, the Vietnamese team has 9 points after 3 wins and 1 loss, ranking second.

At this time, Laos (3 points) and Nepal (0 points) have no chance to continue in this group.

In the next match in November 2025, the Malaysian team will meet Nepal, which is considered an opportunity to increase the gap.

Meanwhile, the Vietnamese team must play away against Laos, a match in which if they do not win, coach Kim Sang-sik's team will have no chance to continue.
