Cong Vinh made a great achievement, Vietnam team crushed Macau 7-1

After a 6-0 victory in the first leg, last night, Falko Goetz and his team continued to have a great victory 7-1 in the second leg on Macau's field in the 2014 World Cup qualifiers.

In the first leg at My Dinh, Cong Vinh scored a hat-trick, Thanh Luong, Van Quyet, Ngoc Thanh each contributed a goal, Vietnam beat Macau 6-0. During the away match in Macau, Cong Vinh continued to shine, scoring 4 goals. His partner Quang Hai scored one goal, while defender Quang Thanh contributed a double to help Vietnam beat Macau for the second time with a score of 7-1. In the end, Falko Goetz and his team defeated Macau 13-1 after two matches. With this result, Vietnam entered the second qualifying round of the 2014 World Cup in Asia. Goetz and his team's next opponent is Qatar.

Vietnam (red) won 13-1 overall after two matches.

Macau was clearly a weak team after the first leg. Coach Falko Goetz therefore changed many positions in the starting lineup with the intention of testing his players' abilities. Manh Dung - who was highly rated in the first leg continued to guard the goal. The two full-backs were still Quang Thanh and Viet Cuong, but in the center of the defense, Dinh Luat replaced Anh Tuan to pair with Long Giang. In the middle team, due to Tai Em's injury, Minh Chau had the opportunity to play his forte as a central midfielder. The three attacking midfielders were Van Quyet, Thanh Luong and Duy Nam. The striker pair Cong Vinh - Quang Hai started together for the second time.

Macau was too weak so like the first leg, Vietnam easily controlled the game. But unlike the situation at My Dinh, in the 3rd minute, Quang Thanh opened the score for Vietnam, from a pass from the right wing. In the 24th minute, it was Quang Hai's turn to speak up with a goal to double the gap.

Cong Vinh has not shone for the national team since the AFF Cup 2008. Partly because he lost form, partly because of injury. But the star of Hanoi T&T shone as soon as he returned to the team under Falko Goetz. Scoring a hat-trick in the first leg, and today scoring two goals in the 29th and 43rd minutes to help Vietnam lead 4-0 at the end of the first half - Cong Vinh showed that he is still worthy of being the number one striker in Vietnam. In the last minute of the first half, Mr. Goetz let Thanh Luong rest and replaced him with midfielder Ngoc Duy.

Leading 4-0, the Vietnamese team had some loose moments at the beginning of the second half. And almost immediately, that complacency was paid for with a goal in the 50th minute (striker Ka Hang scored for Macau). After this goal, Goetz made two more changes. Defender Viet Cuong gave way to Ngoc Thanh while Trong Hoang replaced Duy Nam in midfield.

With the presence of two attacking players, the Vietnamese team continuously put pressure on the Macau goal in the second half. Dominating the attack, the Vietnamese team scored three more goals. Two goals belonged to Cong Vinh in the 74th and 82nd minutes (including a penalty after Quang Hai was fouled in the penalty area), the remaining goal belonged to defender Quang Thanh in the 86th minute.

In the second round, our team will play the first leg away to Qatar on July 23, before returning to My Dinh to play the decisive match on July 28.
