(Baonghean.vn) - Controlling the ball well, however, the Vietnam team still lost to China in the FIFA Days friendly match in October 2023.
On the evening of October 10, the Vietnamese team had a friendly match with the Chinese team. This was a match during FIFA Days in October. Entering the match, both teams entered the game very proactively and organized a very intense pressure on their opponents.
The two teams' open and exciting game created many opportunities for both teams. In the 3rd minute, Fang Hao escaped down the right wing and had a difficult cross, the ball cut through the Vietnamese team's goal and fortunately no one could create a touch point.
However, just 5 minutes later, the Vietnamese team responded, Tien Anh crossed the ball inside, Hoang Duc missed but Tuan Hai responded, fired a shot, however, it was blocked by the opposing team's defender.
The match became more and more open, Vietnam had clear attacks from Tuan Hai and Van Toan but China also had a chance to score when in a free kick situation, Van Lam misjudged the landing point, the opposing team's player headed the ball but it hit the post.
The Vietnamese team also had some chances, however, luck was not on the Vietnamese players' side. Many technical moves by Tuan Anh helped the Vietnamese midfield create breakthroughs, but goals were what the white-shirted players lacked.
The first half ended with neither team scoring any goals.
Entering the second half, the Vietnamese team surprisingly attacked more. However, despite having a good game, we conceded a goal. In the 55th minute, Wang Qiuming jumped up to finish from a high pass from the left wing, the ball went lightly but dangerously, defeating Van Lam.
After that, the Vietnamese team tried to attack more, but their handling at the end of the field was not good, causing Vietnam to not create any clear scoring opportunities. The attacking style also exposed many gaps for Vietnam, many times China had open counter-attacks but could not take advantage.
In the final minutes, perhaps because he was quite impatient, Tien Linh made a malicious foul on the opponent and received a red card, causing the Vietnamese team to lose hope of equalizing. Mistake after mistake, Hoang Duc passed the ball wrongly in the final minute of the match and let Wu Lei escape and score. Although the Vietnamese players tried to advance, they still could not score.
In the end, Vietnam lost 0-2 to China.
After this match, coach Troussier and his team will have another friendly match in China against Uzbekistan on October 13.
