In the 90+8 minute, after a careless pass back from Nguyen Hoang Duc, striker Wu Lei sprinted down to face Van Lam and then made a tricky shot, sealing a 2-0 victory for China over the Vietnamese team.
Wu Lei is one of the two players with the most goals for the Chinese team.
Notably, this was the striker's 31st goal for the Chinese national team.
At the same time, this also helped him go down in the history of national football as the player with the best scoring record, equal to the legend Liu Haiguang.
Speaking at a post-match press conference, the former Espanyol (La Liga) striker said: “The captain’s armband makes me feel my responsibility is heavier. I am very grateful for the trust of the coach as well as the support of my teammates.
“We didn’t play well two months ago. I hope we can do better this time. We played poorly in the first half, but in the second half, China controlled the game better.”
Although he scored 1 goal, overall this was not a really good match for the striker born in 1991.
In the match against Vietnam at Dalian Stadium, Wu Lei was given many opportunities but he lacked sharpness in finishing.
As for the Chinese team, although they won, this was a match in which they encountered many difficulties against Vietnam's controlling style of play.
There was even a time when coach Jankovic's students could not hold the ball and completely lost the midfield.
