The 2-1 victory over Cambodia not only helped the Vietnamese team have a favorable start before the 2027 Asian Cup qualifiers, but also brought good news when the team was promoted in the FIFA rankings.

On the evening of March 19, at Go Dau Stadium (Binh Duong), the Vietnamese team won 2-1 against Cambodia in an international friendly match within the framework of FIFA Days. This result not only helped coach Kim Sang-sik and his team have a favorable start before the 2027 Asian Cup qualifiers, but also helped the team move up in the FIFA rankings.

Entering the match against Cambodia, the Vietnamese team quickly dominated the game and created many dangerous opportunities. In the 15th minute, Hai Long opened the score with a beautiful free kick, helping the home team take the lead. In the 35th minute, Van Vi doubled the gap with an accurate finish in the penalty area, giving the Vietnamese team a big advantage before the break.

However, in the second half, when coach Kim Sang-sik withdrew Hoang Duc and Quang Hai from the field, the Vietnamese midfield weakened, creating conditions for Cambodia to attack. In the 65th minute, the away team scored a goal to reduce the score after a beautiful combination. Although the Vietnamese team created many dangerous opportunities in the final minutes, the finishing shots of Van Vi, Chau Ngoc Quang and Truong Tien Anh were unsuccessful, ending the match with a 2-1 victory for the home team.

In addition to its professional significance, this victory also brought good news to the Vietnamese team on the FIFA rankings. According to the statistics site Football Ranking, by defeating Cambodia, the Vietnamese team was awarded 2.72 points, thereby moving up one place to 111th in the world.

There is still a chance to improve the ranking when coach Kim Sang-sik and his team will continue to face the Laos team on March 25, also at Go Dau Stadium. If they win, the Vietnamese team will likely accumulate more points to continue improving their position on the FIFA rankings.

The victory over Cambodia not only helps the Vietnamese team maintain good form, but also creates great motivation for the team before the 2027 Asian Cup qualifiers. With careful preparation, fans expect the "Golden Star Warriors" to continue to show impressive form in the upcoming match./.
