Vietnam won bronze medal in men's football at SEA Games

Scoring: Van Cuong 9' & 35', Van Khang 57' - Aung Myo 89'.

The hot weather made the two teams slow to enter the bronze medal match. But the more fighting, the more Vietnam shows its desire to win medals compared to Myanmar. While Philippe Troussier's students were determined, Myanmar played sluggishly and made many mistakes throughout the match.

Coach Troussier replaced five positions compared to the main squad against Indonesia, in which Doan Huy Hoang replaced Quan Van Chuan. Without Van Tung and Thanh Nhan due to injury, the Vietnamese attack started with Le Van Do, Khuat Van Khang and Nguyen Van Truong.

In the fifth minute, Van Truong had a chance after the Myanmar defense made a mistake. Player number 14 pushed the ball past goalkeeper Phyo Thu and in front of him was just an empty goal. But Van Truong was not as fast as his opponent, letting the Myanmar defender break the ball all the way across in an unbelievable way.

Vietnam did not have to wait long for a goal from the combination of two full-backs. Vo Minh Trong sped up on the left wing and then dropped in favorably for Ho Van Cuong to finish the goal. Actively reducing the rhythm of the game after the opening goal, Troussier's students still created more opportunities in the first half. Two minutes after hitting the post, Le Van Do corrected the mistake by passing Van Cuong down to raise the score to 2-0.

Van Cuong's double made it easier for Vietnam to kick into the second half. Right after the break, Khuat Van Khang missed the opportunity in an empty position in the forbidden area. Player No. 8 did not have to regret it for too long, when he raised the score to 3-0 in the 57th minute. Minh Trong had the second assist in the match, from the situation of escaping on the left side and then passing into the penalty area to clear the ball for him. teammate.

Myanmar could hardly create waves towards Huy Hoang's goal. They showed mental fatigue after conceding three goals. Vietnam got on the ball quite easily, when the opponent revealed a lot of space. However, many players expressed their subjectivity and were satisfied with the score 3-0.

At the end of the match, Myanmar accelerated to earn an honorable goal. A minute after Zin Hein forced Huy Hoang to show his talent from the free kick, Aung Myo conceded Vietnam's net. Huy Hoang was partly at fault when he pushed the ball indecisively from the corner, letting the opponent take advantage of the opportunity to head the goal.

Vietnam's victory was not complete when Huy Hoang conceded a goal and Van Khang was injured at the end of the match. The player, born in 2003, flipped his ankle and had to leave the field on a stretcher. However, the bronze medal is also considered a beautiful farewell of Troussier's teachers and students to the 32nd SEA Games.
