The team has beaten Myanmar and Mozambique and on Monday drew 2-2 Monday against Bangladesh.

Having already booked a spot in the semis, Vietnamese coach Mai Duc Chung left three favorites on the bench at the start of Monday’s clash with Bangladesh.

The changes didn’t weaken the team and they scored an opener just four minutes into the match.

However, after the first goal the Vietnamese footballers lost concentration and Bangladesh scored an equalizer 29 minutes later, then took the lead five minutes into the second half.

The Vietnamese team evened the score at 2-all 12 minutes later.

The players continued to attack but Bangladesh played tough, blocking all attacks from the Vietnamese players.

Eight teams are competing in this year’s Merdeka Cup, an international football tournament organized by Malaysia.
