On the evening of March 25, the Vietnamese team had a resounding 5-0 victory over Laos at Go Dau Stadium. Ngoc Quang, Van Vi (2 goals), Hai Long and Quang Hai scored in turn, bringing an easy victory for the Vietnamese team.

In another match, Malaysia also got 3 points after a 2-0 victory over Nepal. This result helped the Vietnamese team rise to the top of Group F after the first round of the 2027 Asian Cup qualifiers. Coach Kim Sang Sik's team has a better goal difference than Malaysia (+5 compared to +2). Nepal ranked 3rd and Laos ranked last.

To secure a ticket to the 2027 Asian Cup Finals in Saudi Arabia, Vietnam must maintain their top spot in the group after the qualifying round. Perhaps the biggest rival of the “Golden Star Warriors” is Malaysia.

With the addition of many naturalized players of European origin, the strength of the Malaysian team has increased significantly. However, if they play to their true potential, coach Kim Sang Sik's team is completely sure to advance.

Meanwhile, in Group D, the Thai team also had a difficult victory over another weak opponent, Sri Lanka, 1-0 in the opening match of the 2027 Asian Cup qualifiers.

The War Elephants are currently ranked second in Group D after the first round of matches ended due to a goal deficit. Earlier, Turkmenistan won 2-1 against Taiwan.

The 2027 Asian Cup will take place from January 7 to February 5, 2027 in Saudi Arabia. The tournament will feature 24 participating nations divided into six groups.
