Pakistan's FIFA ASEAN Cup campaign ended with a 4-2 defeat to Vietnam on Friday in their final Division I Group 'B' match. Nolberto Solano's men took the lead through Mohibullah's superb 31st-minute goal after dominating the first half of the fixture.

Vietnam, ranked 99 places above Pakistan in the FIFA rankings, responded with goals from Long Hai Nguyen, Duc Hoang Nguyen, and Bac Dinh Nguyen to take a 3-1 lead. Kaleemullah Khan replied for Pakistan before Hoang Minh Williams secured the fourth goal for Vietnam.

Vietnam held on to secure second place in the group behind Thailand, while the Philippines finished third. Pakistan concluded their maiden campaign at a FIFA competition with one point.

Needing a victory to reach the bronze medal match, Pakistan started strongly following their 2-2 draw against the Philippines. Early chances saw Ali Akbar Khan's effort blocked and Shayek Dost head wide in the fifth minute.

Goalkeeper Yousuf Butt was forced to turn away a deflected shot as Vietnam grew into the match. Persistent attacks down the flanks by Ali Akbar and Abdul Samad ultimately led to Mohibullah's opening goal.
