Beating Korea, Vietnam Futsal advances straight to the Asian Finals with group win
On the afternoon of October 11, with a resounding 5-2 victory over South Korea in the final match, the Vietnamese futsal team ended the 2024 Asian futsal qualifying round with a series of 3 consecutive wins.
Before entering the final round, the Vietnamese futsal team is still leading the Group D rankings thanks to a better goal difference than Korea. Therefore, just a draw in the direct confrontation with this opponent is enough for coach Diego Giustozzi and his team to maintain the top position in the group.
However, in futsal, the Vietnamese team is still rated higher than the Korean team.
In the most recent meeting at the 2022 Asian Futsal Championship, the Vietnamese futsal team defeated the Korean futsal team with a score of 5-1. Therefore, there is no reason for the Vietnamese futsal team to aim for a draw.
With superior strength, the Vietnam Futsal Team won 5-2 against the Korean Futsal Team to top Group D with a perfect record of 3 wins. Before that, Coach Diego Giustozzi and his team defeated host Mongolia 6-1 and Nepal 5-0.
The scorers for the Vietnam Futsal Team in the match against the Korean Futsal Team were Duong Ngoc Linh (double), Nhan Gia Hung, Nguyen Minh Tri and Dinh Cong Vien. The Vietnam Futsal Team advanced to the 2024 AFC Futsal Championship Finals as the top team in Group D, after early winning the ticket from the previous match.
In the end, the Vietnamese futsal team won 5-2 against South Korea. This result helped the Vietnamese futsal team advance to the 2024 Asian Futsal Championship Finals as group winners, with 9 absolute points after 3 matches, scoring 16 goals, and conceding only 3 times. Meanwhile, South Korea also advanced as group runners-up.
The 2024 Asian Futsal Championship finals are scheduled to take place from April 17 to 28, 2024 in Thailand./.
