On the evening of June 10, at Bukit Jalil Stadium, the Malaysian team won 4-0 against the Vietnamese team in the second match of Group F of the 2027 Asian Cup qualifiers.
This victory not only helped the team nicknamed "Hoa Ma Lai" climb to the top of Group F with 6 absolute points after 2 matches, but also helped this team break the streak of not beating the Vietnamese team after 11 years.
Since the most recent victory at the AFF Cup 2014, the Malaysian team has gone through 8 winless matches against Vietnam, including 7 defeats and 1 draw.
The Malaysia team's 4-0 victory over the Vietnamese team also helped fans have a more overview of the picture of Southeast Asian football.
After Indonesia achieved impressive results with its naturalization policy, Malaysia has also begun to leave its mark. The naturalized players of Malaysia played much better than the Vietnamese players throughout the 90 minutes of play at Bukit Jalil Stadium.
After this match, the Vietnam team will have a lot of work to do before facing Malaysia in the final qualifying round of the 2027 Asian Cup in March 2026.
