Following the victorious match against Malaysia, Vietnam will enter a defining match against the UAE on 15th June.<\/p>\n

\nDespite the Tigers’ defeat, there\u2019s no denying that Team Malaysia put up a good fight. Their match against Vietnam was probably a regrettable one for Coach Tan Cheng Hoe, who had received news of his father\u2019s passing before seeing hopes of going further into the game dim fast.<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

We extend our condolences to him and his family.<\/p>\n
