At the match, Vietnam was the better team, displaying its attacking tactics from the start and pushing Malaysia into its own half ground. 
Vietnam’s real clear-cut chance in the first time fell to Hoang after Luong Xuan Truong’s pass put Hoang face the Malaysian goalkeeper but he failed to take shot. 
Midfielder Nguyen Trong Hoang again missed another chance in the second half before beating the Malaysian goalkeeper. Again Hoang’s goal was created by Truong.
