Vietnam picked up their first win in the 2022 World Cup qualifiers Thursday by beating Malaysia 1-0.
Playing on home turf, Vietnam took many solid shots against Malaysia's goal. Their efforts were rewarded in the 40th minute when Nguyen Quang Hai took a fine pass from captain Que Ngoc Hai and scored from a tight corner.
Quang Hai's shot found the net earlier but it was ruled offside.
Malaysia launched many attacks that failed to break through Vietnam's strong defense.
Vietnam had a goalless draw playing Thailand in their first qualification match last month, thus Thursday win was a big relief for fans.
They will play Indonesia away on October 15.
