Vietnam women’s futsal team (white) has the first friendly match in Bahrain

Three days after arriving in Bahrain according to the training plan to prepare for the 31st SEA Games, the Vietnamese women’s futsal team had the first friendly match against Bahrain 1. Possessing a large player force, the host team Bahrain was divided into 2 squads Bahrain 1 and Bahrain 2 to play 4 friendly matches with the Vietnamese women’s futsal team.

As the first international friendly match, after 3 years affected by the Covid-19 epidemic, it is difficult for Vietnamese female futsal players to avoid surprises. In the first half, despite two times taking the lead, thanks to Le Thi Thuy Trang (minute 6) and Le Thi Thanh Ngan (12 minute), but the Vietnamese women’s futsal team let their team equalize.

Entering the break between the two halves, the coaching staff of the Vietnamese women’s futsal team made adjustments and helped to learn the game better in the remaining round. The girls controlled the game better to immediately score 2 goals thanks to Trinh Nguyen Thanh Hang (23 minutes) and Nguyen Thi Chau (32 minutes).

Having been led 2-4 when the match time was only 5 minutes, Bahrain 1 used power-play tactics to corner Vietnam. But before Vietnam’s well-organized defense, the home team only scored 1 goal in the last 5 seconds, closing the final 3-4.

Sharing after the match, coach Truong Quoc Tuan expressed satisfaction with the performance of his students. He said that the four international friendly matches in Bahrain are extremely useful and require the female players to focus on competing like the official match at the 31st SEA Games. At 20:45 (local time) tonight (24). April), the Vietnamese women’s futsal team will have a rematch with Bahrain 1.
