(Baonghean.vn) - The match between the Thai team and the Vietnamese team took place tonight (June 5) within the semi-finals of the King's Cup 2019, receiving special attention from experts and fans of both countries.
Predicting the outcome of this match, Coach Nguyen Duc Thang said: “Although the Thai team is missing its brightest star, Chanathip Songkrasin, the home team’s strength is still formidable, especially since they are determined to defeat the Vietnamese team to confirm their No. 1 position in Southeast Asia. In my opinion, the two teams will draw 1-1 in 90 minutes and the Vietnamese team will be the team in the final match.”
Sharing the same opinion with his coach, defender Nguyen Sy Nam affirmed: “Coach Park Hang-seo’s reasonable tactics and the players’ confidence will help the Vietnamese team defeat the Thai team on penalties, after the two teams drew 2-2 in regulation time. Nguyen Anh Duc and Nguyen Quang Hai were the ones who scored for the Vietnamese team.”

With the talent of Coach Park Hang-seo and a squad of quality players such as Dang Van Lam, Nguyen Quang Hai, Nguyen Cong Phuong, Que Ngoc Hai… the Vietnam National Team will overcome the Thailand National Team with a score of 1-0, the goal scorer is Nguyen Cong Phuong”.
