However, Lwin Moe Aung equalized in the 27th minute, and after almost an hour, substitute Aung Kaung Mann scored the game-winner in the 86th minute.
Myanmar topped Group A with 10 points, while Cambodia remains tied with the Philippines and Malaysia, 4-0 winner over Timor Leste in a simultaneous action at the Rizal Memorial Stadium in Manila, for second place.
