With top spot in the group already secured, the visitors were looking to finish the group stage with another victory and they made the perfect start when Guinean striker Sekou Sylla put them ahead in just the second minute. That lead lasted barely 10 minutes with Trinh Dinh Hung producing a wonderful overlapping run before whipping in a pinpoint cross for Pape Omay Faye whose header was too powerful for Tran Buu Ngoc. Sylla secured his brace after just 20 minutes when he controlled Maung Maung Lwin’s pass, turning into the area and firing a shot past Tran, who could do little to keep the powerful shot out despite getting a hand to it.
