Malaysia 2-2 China PR

China PR and Malaysia went into the match having won their earlier matches but it was the hosts, with 25,000 fans backing them, who held the upperhand in the opening minutes.

Hadi Fayyadh led the charge for Malaysia as he caused problems for China PR. The Fagiano Okayama forward made promising runs against the East Asians who were, however, quick to deal with the threat.

SINGAPORE 3-1 MONGOLIA

Singapore came into the match knowing that they had to secure a win if they wanted to finish top two in the group after they had played to 1-1 draws in their first two fixtures, but they had the worst possible of starts against Mongolia.

JAPAN 7-0 MYANMAR

The win gave Japan maximum points as they topped the Group I table while Myanmar settled for second.

The young Samurai Blue raced off the blocks and quickly settled into the game with two goals in 10 minutes from Daizen Maeda.

Japan could have made it three at the 15th minute mark but Maeda missed his effort from close range as Myanmar scrambled at the back.

MALDIVES 0-3 UAE

UAE made it two wins from two on the road to Thailand 2020, securing a straightforward 3-0 success over Maldives.

Under the tutelage of Polish head coach Maciej Skorza, the Emiratis have now racked up nine goals in their two Group E wins, setting up a decisive encounter with group hosts Saudi Arabia on the third and final Matchday on Tuesday.

AFGHANISTAN 1 OMAN 2

Oman kept their campaign on track, recording their second successive narrow win with a 2-1 victory over Afghanistan.

Second half goals to Ahmed Al Matroushi and Muhsen Al Ghassani took the Omanis to six points from two matches, setting up Tuesday's match against group hosts Qatar to decide who takes the group's direct qualification place in Thailand.

Afghanistan's defeat leaves them without a point after two matches, meaning their qualification hopes have been dashed following Qatar's win against Nepal in Sunday's later match.

Both West Asian teams will head into the deciding tie needing a win as they are not only tied on six points but also on goal difference after having beaten Bangladesh and Sri Lanka with identical scores.

Palestine, having defeated Sri Lanka 9-0 on Matchday One, beat Bangladesh 1-0 on Sunday. Bahrain matched Palestine's result as they shipped nine past Sri Lanka, having had to work hard to see off Bangladesh 1-0 on Friday.

TURKMENISTAN 0-2 IRAQ

Iraq had opened their campaign with a 5-0 win over Yemen on Matchday 1 while Turkmenistan had suffered a 3-1 defeat to the Islamic Republic of Iran.

Iraq, champions of the inaugural edition in 2013, started the better of the two on Sunday and their early pressing paid off at the PAS Stadium in Tehran as forward Murad Mohammed Subeh, who scored twice in the win over Yemen, gave them the lead in the 17th minute.
