Unfortunately, after keeping a clean sheet in the first half, Van Lam had to pick the ball out of the net twice in the second half. Thus, before being scored on, the Vietnamese-American goalkeeper reached the milestone of 608 consecutive minutes helping the Vietnamese goal to be impregnable at the AFF Cup 2022.
"I look at it optimistically and think that a 2-2 draw is still a better result than being behind 2-1 before the return leg away. Surely, everyone in the team will win the return leg together. I and everyone else are confident in ourselves to win in Thailand," Dang Van Lam confidently declared./.
