Vietnam edged Malaysia 2-1 to stay on top of Group G and ready to secure a place in the final round of the Asian Qualifiers for the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022. With 2 points clear ahead of UAE, they just need a draw to confirmed their place in the final round.
Nguyen Tien Linh gave his team the lead in the 27th minute, but Malaysia fought back to keep their chances alive. Guilherme De Paula scored the equaliser for Malaysia in the 72nd minutes from the penalty spot. However, Vietnam got a penalty in the 81st minute, and Que Ngoc Hai made no mistake to give his team the win.
UAE hammered Indonesia 5-0 in another Group G match earlier. Two goals each by Ali Mabkhout and Fabio Lima, plus a goal by Sebastian Tagliabúe sealed the win at Zabeel Stadium in Dubai. It is their third consecutive win in Asian Qualifiers and still in the race to win their Group. UAE will face Vietnam on Wednesday for their final group match.
