Before the game started, both teams spent a moment of silence in memory of Brazilian football legend Pele, who passed away last week. Vietnam looked poised for the last four with an early goal just eight minutes into the game. Nguyen Van Quyet conjured up a brilliant assist for Pham Tuan Hai to tap in, but before Hai could touch the ball, Zin Lwin scored an own goal. Vietnam’s goalkeeper Dang Van Lam and defense line almost brought the match back to the start by making grave mistakes in just a few minutes with wrong positioning and careless passes. However, the Myanmar players failed to convert those chances. The hosts doubled the lead in the 27th minute when Myanmar keeper Tun Nanda Oo could not catch the ball cleanly from Doan Van Hau’s cross, leaving Nguyen Tien Linh with an easy job.
