Kyaw Ko Ko and Min Min Thu were also on target for Myanmar, who lost March’s opener 1-0 at home to India.
Macau remain without a point in Group A following their opening 1-0 defeat by the Kyrgyz Republic.
Macau were without key defender’s Lao Puk-kin and Filipe Duarte, and that may have proved telling as Myanmar opened the scoring after just four minutes at Macau Olympic Stadium through Aung Si Thu.
And with Gerd Zeise’s Myanmar in total control of the contest, the visitors added a second after 30 minutes as main attacking threat Kyaw Ko Ko found the net.
Myanmar further extended their lead a minute after the hour mark through Aung Si Thu’s second of the night.
Macau’s best chance of a frustrating night arrived with 20 minutes remaining as a superb cross from Edgar Teixeira found Leong Ka-hang, but the midfielder failed to find the target.
And Myanmar added their fourth and final goal just four minutes later as substitute Min Min Thu found the net.
