Three minutes later, Tien Thanh doubled the score with his super header. Substitute Thanh Binh widened the gap for Vietnam when he used Timor Leste defender’s mistake to strike the third in the 61^st minute. In the 67^th minute, it was Tien Thanh who scored the fourth, making a hattrick of goals. In the last minute, Timor Leste missed the opportunity to score when their forward’s shot was saved by goalkeeper Tan Truong. Beating Timor Leste 4-0, Vietnam, together with Thailand who beat Cambodia 4-0 earlier, top Group A with four points after two matches.
