Vietnam rounded off their AFC Asian Cup warm-up campaign with a 5-3 victory over fellow continental competitors Bahrain at the My Dinh National Stadium on Saturday.

The game was a perfect preparation for co-hosts Vietnam, who will face defending champions Japan, Qatar and Gulf Cup winners UAE in Group B, while 2004 AFC Asian Cup semi-finalists Bahrain have been drawn in Group D alongside co-hosts Indonesia, Saudi Arabia and South Korea.

Bahrain opened the scoring after two minutes through midfielder Mahmoud Abdulrahman, but the hosts were back on level terms after 11 minutes through Le Cong Vinh, who gave his side the lead six minutes later.

Vietnam increased their lead eight minutes after the break through Mai Tien Thanh before 2004 AFC Asian Cup top scorer Ala'a Hubail reduced the deficit for Bahrain two minutes after the hour mark.

Bahrain levelled the scores 10 minutes later through Nigerian born striker Jaycee John, but Vietnam regained the lead after 77 minutes through Phan Thanh Binh before Nguyen Anh Duc sealed the victory with three minutes to play.

Vietnam kick-off their AFC Asian Cup campaign against UAE on July 8, while Bahrain face co-hosts Indonesia two days later.
