Vietnam's national team sets a historic Southeast Asian record after 57 years.

Vietnam's national team defeated Malaysia 3-1, matching the record of 10 consecutive victories in Southeast Asia after 57 years.

Vietnam's national team concluded the Asian Cup 2027 qualifiers with a 3-1 victory over Malaysia., thereby equaling the 57-year-old Southeast Asian record of 10 consecutive wins. The previous record was set by Myanmar from 1966 to 1968, when the team won 10 consecutive matches, scoring 24 goals and conceding only 2.

The victory over Malaysia continues to demonstrate the superior strength of coach Kim Sang Sik and his team.. The red-shirted players quickly imposed their dominance, effectively utilizing wing attacks and aerial play to score first, establishing a solid psychological advantage throughout the match.

Vietnam's 10-match winning streak began after the 1-1 draw with Philippines in the ASEAN Cup 2024 group stage. Since then, the team successively overcame opponents Myanmar, Singapore, Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, and Malaysia with convincing scores, raising the total goals to 30 and conceding only 6.

Compared to other teams in the region, this achievement stands out even more. Indonesia once held the longest streak of 9 wins from 1968 to 1969, while Thailand achieved only 6 wins in 1993. This helps Vietnamese football affirm its leading position in Southeast Asia.

Not only creating an impression in results, coach Kim Sang Sik's squad also set a milestone of 10 consecutive home wins. The last time a team left Vietnam with a draw was India in the friendly match on October 12, 2024, showing the complete match control capability of the red warriors.

The victory over Malaysia holds significance not only in points but also as a historic milestone, marking Vietnam's national team's excellent performance streak and stable spirit. Fans have solid grounds to expect the team to continue its impressive winning momentum in upcoming regional and continental tournaments.
