Mongolia added to Vietnam’s woes, 88-77, to stay perfect in the FIBA Asia Cup 2025 Pre-Qualifiers, Sunday night at the UG Arena.

Another balanced attack made wonders for the home team, led by the 17 points and 6 rebounds of Enkhbayasgalan Amarbayasgalan.

Enkhbaatar Onolbaatar made 16 points and 7 boards. Bilguun Battuvshin had 15 points, captain Sanchir Tungalag produced 12 markers, 7 caroms, 6 dimes, and 2 steals, as Boldbaatar Bat Erdene chipped in 10 in the win.

Amarbayasgalan and Onolbaatar, together with Anand Ariunbold, helped Mongolia to a 70-60 lead early in the fourth quarter. Their lead would eventually rise to 12 points, 82-70, thanks to Erdene with 3:16 left to play.

The Mongolians’ victory served as a prelude to their highly-anticipated encounter with Thailand in a battle of 3-0 teams on Monday night.
