Holding a draw with Japan, the Vietnamese team bid farewell to the World Cup qualifiers full of courage

Injury, COVID-19 and penalty cards cause Vietnam Tel could not use the strongest squad in the match against the top team of the Japanese team away from home. After the match against Oman, Coach Park lost two more important players, Tien Linh (injury) and Thanh Chung (suspended). Therefore, the Korean leader was forced to give opportunities to Thanh Binh and Cong Phuong.

Although Japan has tickets to the 2022 World Cup, coach Hajime Moriyasu’s teachers and students are still determined to win a victory to thank the home fans. The Japanese team immediately pushed the offensive line up after the opening whistle. Goalkeeper Nguyen Manh’s goal is constantly being put in dangerous situations.

However, the surprise came in the 19th minute of the match. From the corner kick on the left wing of Cong Phuong, Thanh Binh jumped high and hit a dangerous header to hit Japan’s net, opening the match. This is also Thanh Binh’s first goal in his first start in the national team.

Being dumped with cold water, the Japanese team pushed up the squad to put pressure. However, the home team’s attack has encountered a resilient defense of Vietnam. In turn, Que Ngoc Hai, goalkeeper Nguyen Manh, continuously saved the home team. The first half ended with a score of 1-0 in favor of Vietnam.

After the break, the Japanese team launched key attacking players such as Takumi Minamino, Junya Ito and Ao Tanaka into the field. These changes make the attack power of the Japanese Tel become much more dangerous, pushing Vietnam Tel into a defensive position.

Before the continuous braking phase, Vietnam Tel could not avoid mistakes. In the 55th minute, goalkeeper Nguyen Manh did not catch the ball from the opponent’s long shot, Maya Yoshida was present at the right time to play close to the wall to equalize for Japan.

In the next minutes, the Japanese team still maintained the dominant position with continuous shots. In the 71st minute, Tanaka hit goalkeeper Nguyen Manh. However, after consulting VAR, the referee did not recognize the goal because Minamino had previously let the ball touch his hand.

Towards the end of the match, Japan exerted great pressure. In the 88th minute, the net of Vietnam continued to vibrate before Ueda’s close-range ball. But again Japan was denied a goal because the referee determined there was an offside.
