Hajime Moriyasu’s men have now won seven and lost two of their nine qualification games to sit top of the standings, one point above second-place Saudi Arabia.

Following a drab first half at the My Dinh National Stadium, 28-year-old forward Khalid Khalifa Al Hajri came up trumps for the visitors as he broke the deadlock five minutes after the hour mark to end their three-game winless run.
Prior to that, Vietnam picked up their first points and win of the qualifiers courtesy of a 3-1 victory over China back in February which saw their eight-game losing streak come to an end.
While the Golden Star Warriors will be looking to return to winning ways and end their qualifying campaign on a high, next up is the daunting task of facing a rampant opposing side who have won each of the last four meetings between the teams since 2007.
