The first save came in the 40th minute, when Hector Hevel made a difficult cross into the box. Figueiredo jumped high to head the ball dangerously, but goalkeeper Filip had great reflexes to block it.

Not stopping there, right before the end of the first half, Filip Nguyen once again demonstrated his talent. From a quick counter-attack, Arif Aiman overcame Duy Manh in a one-on-one fight and then executed a technical lob. However, Filip Nguyen continued to make an excellent save by using his fingertips to prevent the ball from going into the net.

However, Nguyen Filip's goal faced a dangerous situation in the second half. In the 49th minute, after Ngoc Quang lost the ball in the middle of the field, Figueiredo quickly rushed forward and fired a powerful shot. Although the ball hit Duy Manh, it still rolled into the net, causing the Vietnamese team to concede a goal.

In the 59th minute, the Vietnamese team's net shook for the second time, again due to an individual error. Xuan Manh's slip created an opportunity for Aiman to escape, pass the ball to Rodrigo Julian Holgado, who rushed in and connected, defeating Nguyen Filip.

In the remaining time, the Vietnamese team, despite their best efforts, still failed to score. In addition, Kim Sang-sik and his team conceded two more goals, ending the match with a heavy 0-4 loss.

In 12 matches as a starter for the Vietnamese national team, Nguyen Filip has only kept one clean sheet. That was when Vietnam beat Indonesia 1-0 in the second match of the 2024 ASEAN Cup group stage.
