The Vietnamese squad on October 6 made it four wins after they beat hosts Myanmar 1-0 in the last qualifying round's Group G match at the Youth Training Centre, Yangon City.

The score was opened by Ha Duc Chinh in the 20th minute.

Pham Trong Hoa, who suffered a knee pain during a training session on Sunday, broke the Myanmar defenders and gave a perfect pass to Chinh who sprinted to the box and shot to goalkeeper Phone Thitsar Min's right corner.

It was one of many chances that Chinh received through the first half. Earlier he missed a clear opportunity when he was alone in the box but his kick found the goalie's position.

Striker Nguyen Tien Linh tore the net at the 13th mark but it was an offside trap.

Viet Nam had a golden chance to double the result just 10 minutes after the interval.

Goalie Min downed Chinh in the box and the visitors were given a penalty. However, Captain Nguyen Trong Dai's shoot-out hit the bar.

Myanmar played much better in the second half. They created numerous problems for the Vietnamese defenders with a lot of long-distance shots, but most of them were off target.

They had more ball possession and met with no challenge to block Viet Nam's attacks.
