Making their first Continental appearance, a second-half winner by Lin Myint Mo saw the Myanmar side close their Preliminary Stage campaign with a perfect record in Group F while fellow debutants Hang Yuan of Chinese Taipei exited in second place with two wins.

Hang Yuan enjoyed an edge in possession from the start, but the first clear chance at goal came at the opposing end when May Htet Lu’s close-range header in the 10th minute was pushed away by keeper Wang Yu-Ting at the last moment.
Wang made an instinctive save from another point-blank May header seven minutes later, palming the ball off the line as Ayeyawady piled on the pressure.

Cheered on by a vocal home crowd, they were again denied when the relentless May saw her attempt in the 25th minute blocked by Wang on the edge of the six-yard box, with Zin Moe Pyae then trying her luck in the 32nd minute with a header that went astray.
Hang Yuan’s Kano Miyamoto’s off-balance shot at goal four minutes in the 41st minute was cleared by defender Zune Yu Ya Oo in front of goal before Miyamoto’s teammate Liu Yu-Chiao closed the action in the first half by ballooning her effort over the bar.

Lin broke the stalemate in the 57th minute when the unmarked Ayeyawady substitute steered in Yumemi Matsuo’s cross from the right past Wang, who only managed to get her finger to the ball before it came to rest in the left hand corner.

Hang Yuan failed to mount a comeback despite their best efforts as Kumiko Tashiro’s side held on to confirm a dream Continental debut.
