Both teams created scoring opportunities in the first 30 minutes, then Vietnam started attacking and dominated the match while Myanmar was hard put to defend and try to secure a point.
Defender Quang Anh managed to get the ball into the Myanmar goal after receiving captain Thanh Luong’s right corner kick in the 38th minute but it did not count as he was ruled offside and the game ended in a 0-0 draw.
With four points after two matches, Vietnam and Myanmar share first place in Group B, followed by East Timor with three points, thanks to their win against Brunei.
