Cong Phuong, Anh Duc scored, Vietnam team defeated Malaysia at My Dinh
(Baonghean.vn) - Although they started the match a bit confused by the confidence of the visiting team Malaysia, thanks to reasonable tactics and the bravery of the players, coach Park Hang Seo and his team still had the joy of victory.
Not really proactive at My Dinh Stadium, however, Coach Park Hang Seo's students quickly controlled the situation and launched a lightning attack right in the first clear attack coordination.
In the 11th minute, Doan Van Hau advanced on the left wing to the sideline and passed to Anh Duc. The striker wearing the number 11 shirt did not have a good touch on the ball, but just like the match against Laos, Cong Phuong was in the right place at the right time to seize the opportunity to score. The Vietnamese team opened the score.
Coach Park Hang Seo's players were excited for a few minutes before establishing their signature defensive counter-attacking formation. The Vietnamese team played tightly, maintaining a reasonable formation distance, making the opponent deadlocked.

Malaysia did not attack much in the middle, relying only on flank attacks and corner kicks, but did not create any notable threats in the first half except for 1 direct free kick.
The game remained unchanged after the break. Malaysia dominated possession but could not find a way to penetrate Vietnam's tight defense. Meanwhile, the home team, despite not having good possession of the ball and not being sharp in counter-attacking, made good use of their opportunities.
In the 60th minute, Phan Van Duc made a pass to Anh Duc who was alone against the Malaysian goalkeeper. The striker of B. Binh Duong doubled the gap for the Vietnamese team with a left-footed shot into the far corner.

The solidity of Vietnam's defense continued to make Malaysia powerless in attack. The visitors' efforts to push up the formation were completely ineffective.
In the end, defeating Malaysia with a score of 2-0, the Vietnamese team rose to second place in Group A. Coach Park Hang Seo and his team finished behind Myanmar due to inferior sub-index and will face this opponent in the next match on November 20. However, this result also helps open the door to the semi-finals for the Vietnamese team more widely.
