Defeating Thailand, the Vietnamese futsal team received praise from their opponents.

On the evening of November 6, an emotional match took place at Nakhon Ratchasima Stadium (Thailand). The Thai futsal team took the lead twice, but the Vietnamese futsal team equalized both times and secured a 3-2 victory in the 35th minute. The players who scored for the away team were Pham Duc Hoa and Dinh Cong Vien (double).

Coach Rodrigo praised the Vietnamese futsal team for their good finishing.

Coach Rodrigo commented: "The Vietnamese futsal team turned their chances into goals. We always tried to attack, but the Vietnamese futsal team was not afraid to respond. In the second half, when we took the lead, I thought we controlled the match, but everything changed after just a few minutes. I have to congratulate the Vietnamese futsal team for defeating us. It's good to lose this match, we can overcome our weaknesses. I'm very happy that my students fought until the last second."

The Thai futsal team captain added: "What needs to be fixed is that we need to play well under pressure. Many players are still making mistakes in their positions and not playing according to the planned tactics. In the semi-final match against the Indonesian futsal team, I hope the fans will come and cheer for the Thai futsal team. We will definitely play better."

Thai Huy played relatively well in this match. If he had been luckier, the veteran ala of the Vietnamese futsal team would have scored when he had a dangerous shot, sending the ball hitting the post.

Da Hai showed improvement. He made a mistake in the second goal, but he stood up strong and assisted Cong Vien to score the winning goal 3-2 for the Vietnamese futsal team.

Choose a risky attacking playstyle

On the other side of the front line, coach Diego Giustozzi could not hide his happiness when he helped the Vietnamese futsal team win against Thailand for the first time in 10 years. The Argentine strategist said: "I am very satisfied with the performance of my players. We played well in the first half and tried our best in the second half. All the players fought very tenaciously. We tried to change the way we played and the whole team attacked boldly. In the end, we were rewarded. When the opportunity came, we did not miss it."

In the semi-finals of the 2024 Southeast Asian Futsal Championship, the Vietnamese futsal team will face the Australian futsal team at 3:00 p.m. on November 8. At 6:00 p.m. on the same day, the Thai futsal team will face Indonesia.
