Paulo Josue scored for the second game in a row after a double in the win over Myanmar on Saturday to send the Malaysians on their way to victory with Endrick also on target before an own goal by Viengxay Sidavong and a fine free-kick by substitute Wan Kuzain.
Malaysia lead the standings with six points from their opening two matches and will face second-placed Thailand, who did not play on Tuesday, on Saturday while Laos will take on the Philippines.

The Malaysians were made to battle throughout the first half before Josue put his side in front with a close range finish in the 45th minute while Endrick doubled their advantage 12 minutes into the second half when he converted Gunalan Pavithran’s pull-back.
Viengxay then bundled Pavithran’s centre into his own net in the 66th minute with Wan Kuzain scoring his first goal for Malaysia with a free kick from distance that beat goalkeeper Keo-Oudone Souvannasangso.
Myanmar, meanwhile, picked up their first win of the campaign after losing to the Malaysians in Yangon on Saturday.
Kyaw Min Oo gave Myanmar the lead in the seventh minute while Than Paing scored either side of a Win Naing Tun header to pick up their first of the campaign having lost their opener to Malaysia.

Kyaw Min Oo gave Myanmar the lead in the seventh minute while Than Paing scored either side of a Win Naing Tun header to pick up their first of the campaign having lost their opener to Malaysia.
The opener came when Myat Kaung Khant’s corner was headed against the bar by Soe Moe Kyaw with Kyaw Min Oo reacting quickest to nod the rebound over the line from close range.
Maung Maung Lwin’s incisive pass released Than Paing to score Myanmar’s second in the 28th minute with the forward slipping his low shot beyond the reach of Quincy Kammeraad.
Jarvey Gayoso pulled one back for the Philippines in the 68th minute with a clinical first-time finish but a defensive error gifted Myanmar their third with nine minutes remaining when Win Naing Tun headed in Hein Htet Aung’s cross from the right.
Two minutes later Myat Kaung Khant delivered his cross from the left for Than Paing to score his second of the evening when he converted to complete the win.
