(Baonghean.vn) - The Vietnamese Olympic team suffered a 0-4 defeat to the Iranian Olympic team in the second match of Group B. This result put coach Hoang Anh Tuan and his team in a difficult position before the decisive match against Saudi Arabia.

On the evening of September 21, coach Hoang Anh Tuan and his team entered the second match at ASIAD 19. Regarding the squad, the Vietnam Olympic team did not have the services of Nham Manh Dung and Phan Tuan Tai due to health reasons. Coach Hoang Anh Tuan arranged to play with the highly anticipated trio of strikers Xuan Tien, Vi Hao, and Vo Nguyen Hoang. Meanwhile, Khuat Van Khang will be the main creator in the tactical scheme.

On the Iranian Olympic side, this team also launched its strongest lineup from the start, with overage goalkeeper Hossein Hosseini, some players who have been called up to the national team such as: Aria Barzegar, Saman Touranian...

As expected, after only 5 minutes of play, goalkeeper Quan Van Chuan had to go into the net to pick the ball up. From the left wing, Motahhari comfortably headed in a tricky header to open the score.

Conceding an early goal, the Vietnamese Olympic team became even more confused and let Iran completely dominate, the Iranian players appeared comfortable in attacking. However, they controlled the ball in the midfield area instead of attacking aggressively. In the 21st minute, Mamizadeh had space in the middle and fired a powerful long-range shot but Van Chuan pushed the ball over the bar.

Coach Hoang Anh Tuan's players had almost no chance to attack. Vi Hao and Nguyen Hoang had a few chances to counterattack, but with their physical advantage, the opposing defenders easily returned to block. The West Asian representative created more dangerous situations, but could not score more in the first half.

In the second half, Vietnam Olympic continued to concede an early goal. Defender Duc Anh did not clear the ball decisively, allowing the Iranian player to easily double the gap in a one-on-one position with the goalkeeper. Before he could regain control of the game, 5 minutes later, Mamizadeh boldly curled the ball into the far corner, forcing Van Chuan to pick the ball out of the net despite his efforts to block it.

Losing two goals in a row quickly, coach Hoang Anh Tuan made many more substitutions, but the game of Olympic Vietnam still did not improve.

Not stopping there, in the 90+1 minute, Iran scored the fourth goal. From a left corner kick, the ball went to Barzegar's position for this player to head the ball close to the goal and score easily. Losing 0-4 to Olympic Iran, Olympic Vietnam dropped to 3rd place with 3 points, with the same goal difference of -2. Olympic Iran led with the same 4 points as Olympic Saudi Arabia, but had a goal difference of +4 compared to the opponent's +3.

In the final round, Vietnam Olympic team will play Saudi Arabia. To ensure their place in the next round, coach Hoang Anh Tuan and his team must defeat this very strong opponent.

The match between Olympic Vietnam and Saudi Arabia will take place on September 24./.
