The Vietnamese team entered the match against Italy after receiving good news from Group D. With Australia losing to Ukraine, Bruno Garcia's team only need to not lose by more than 3 goals to qualify for the knockout round.

With determination and high concentration, Vietnam made it very difficult for Italy. However, the European team still found the opening goal in the 5th minute (4' 41'') thanks to Lima. At this time, fans were a bit worried because in the match at the same time, Guatemala unexpectedly led Paraguay by 2 goals and took the 3rd place.

However, Coach Bruno's students still played very resiliently with solid defense. Goalkeeper Ngo Dinh Thuan and his teammates stood firm against many continuous threats from the opponent.

In the remaining time of the match, Italy only scored one more goal in the second half, while Paraguay also came from behind to defeat Guatemala 7-4. These results brought joy to the Vietnamese team as we officially won a ticket to the round of 16 of the Futsal World Cup in our first time participating in the tournament./.
