Malaysia Finish Third in 2026 FIFA ASEAN Cup
Fergus Tierney scored in the 61st minute as Malaysia ended a 12-year winless run against Vietnam and finished the tournament without conceding a goal.
- On Monday, Malaysia defeated Vietnam 1-0 at the Gelora Bung Karno Stadium in Jakarta to secure third place in the inaugural FIFA Asean Cup, ending a 12-year wait for victory against The Golden Dragons.
- The last time Harimau Malaya beat Vietnam was in the 2014 AFF Suzuki Cup, when they won 4-2 in the semi-final. This drought made Monday's result particularly significant.
- Striker Fergus Tierney proved decisive after entering the game in the 60th minute, scoring the match's only goal in the 61st minute with a superb shot from outside the box.
- Malaysia finished the tournament without conceding a goal across 4 matches, a defensive record that included a memorable 6-0 thrashing of Causeway rivals Singapore.
- Vietnam dominated the opening 15 minutes but struggled in the final third after conceding, relying on counter-attacks while goalkeeper Ahmad Syihan Hazmi comfortably handled their remaining attempts.
