Yemen 0-1 Vietnam
Yemen and Vietnam knew that a win would seal their place in Qatar 2024, and it was the latter who achieved the desired outcome.
Fresh from scoring in the opening game against Guam, Bui Vi Hao once again came off the bench to great effect, nodding home the winner from a corner kick in the 85th minute.
The win puts Vietnam on six points, three ahead of Yemen. As the head-to-head result is taken into consideration, the win means that Vietnam will not be overtaken by Yemen, whatever happens in the final round of matches on Tuesday.
Guam 1-1 Singapore
After a tight first half, the match came alive in the 61st minute when Zikos Chua made a great run inside the box before he was tripped by Guam keeper John-Michael Guidroz.

Midfielder Farhan Zulkifli stepped up to put away the penalty kick for the Young Lions.
Guam fought back to claim their first point in the group in the 89th minute when, from a long throw-in, Riku Ngeschekle Meyar was given plenty of time and space to head in the equaliser.
Vietnam will face Singapore and Yemen will look to secure a place as one of the best four runners-up when they meet Guam.
