Despite going a goal down in the first half, Qatar were unlucky not to come away with more than a 1-1 draw with co-hosts Vietnam in My Dinh Stadium in Hanoi.
Uruguayan-born striker Sebastián Soria Quintana was on target for the second match running after his last-gasp equalizer in Qatar's opening game with defending Asian Cup champions Japan.
Quintana scored in a second-half that Qatar largely bossed. The press in Doha lamented their team's inability to put away the game but are hopeful that Qatar will progress to the second round with a victory over local rivals UAE.
