The teams played under heavy rain through the second half of the match. Player Ju Manu from the Nepalese team scored two goals alone at minute 57 and 65. Another player Sandip scored the first goal for the team at minute 42.
Captain of the Macao team Che Chi Man scored a goal at minute 29 in penalty and Chan Kin Seng scored the second goal at minute 60.
"My team had difficulties for the match because there was heavy rain. We will try more for next match against Cambodia," Macao coach Leung Sui Wing told a press conference.
"We were happy for the match with Macao and my boys pass the ball to each other in long kick because of the rain," said Nepalese coach Flath Thomas.
Palestine, Cambodia, Nepal and Macao are in Group D for the qualifying matches, but Palestine withdrew last week.
