Vietnam win int’l friendly football tourney with 3-0 victory over India

Both sides fielded their best players, with the hosts making ten changes from the last formation produced against Singapore in the opening game of the tripartite tourney last week.

World No. 97 Vietnam took some time to settle before making their first attack in the ninth minute, but a long range effort from Ho Tan Tai was saved by Indian goalkeeper Gurpreet Singh Sandhu.

From the following corner, Phan Van Duc put in a brilliant volley to score the first goal for Vietnam in the 10th minute after a rebound from the clearance of the initial corner kick. 

Despite the lead, Vietnam did not sit back, looking to score their second goal of the night.

The Indian players also carved out several scoring chances, but they tried in vain.

After the break, coach Park Hang Seo made several substitutions in both offensive and defensive lines.

Nguyen Van Toan replaced Nguyen Cong Phuong and just four minutes later, he scored a goal, extending Vietnam’s lead.

In the 70th minute, Bui Hoang Viet Anh and Nguyen Van Quyet were sent in and made an instant impact.

Viet Anh’s cross from the right flank was headed clear by center-back Sandesh Jhingan, but Van Quyet got on the stray ball and smashed it home.

Had it not been for spectacular saves by Gurpreet in the final minutes, the scoreline would have been even worse for India.

The 3-0 victory, along with the 4-0 win over Singapore, concluded the tournament and put Vietnam on top.

India and Singapore had played out a 1-1 draw on Saturday.

The friendly competition is considered a big test for Vietnam as they are preparing for the 2022 AFF Mitsubishi Electric Cup due to take place this December.

Vietnam defeat Laos 2-0 in 2023 SE Asian Games men’s football

Image
The Vietnamese, who won the gold medal in men’s football at the delayed 2021 SE Asian Games organized in Hanoi in May 2022, were expected to have an easy game, but they faced strong resistance from their Lao opponents and sometimes stayed in a deadlock at Prince Stadium in Phnom Penh. The junior Golden Stars got off to a great start in the second minute when Nguyen Van Tung headed the ball past Lao goalkeeper Solasak Thilavong into the net, following a good cross from Nguyen Thanh Nhan from the right side. With the early lead, coach Philippe Troussier’s team tried to reduce the match’s tempo, but moments of sloppy defending gave Laos some good chances. The remainder of the first half saw interesting back-and-forth attempts between the two teams.  Vietnam’s Nguyen Van Tung celebrates his opening goal in their match against Laos at the 2023 Southeast Asian Games in Phnom Penh, April 30, 2023.
