At 18:00 Beijing time on January 27, 2022, the 7th round of the World Cup Asian Qualifiers began, with Australia vs Vietnam. As a result, Australia scored two goals in the first half and two more in the second half, and finally Australia defeated Vietnam 4-0. This defeat also completely deprived Vietnam of the opportunity to compete for the third place in the group and missed the World Cup.
Australia played Vietnam very easily, only in the first minute of the opening, Australia's Rojic scored a goal in the first attack, but after passing the VAR judgment as an invalid attack, the Vietnamese players broke out in a cold sweat.
The Australian players are technically rough, but they have the advantage of height and strength. At this point, almost every player in the Australian team has become an impenetrable wall for Vietnamese players. The comeback Australian finally scored an effective attack again in the 29th minute, with Rogic assisting Jamie McLaren to score a goal.
In first-half stoppage time, Australia scored another goal, again by Rogic, who scored his second goal of the game after receiving an assist from Matthew Leky. Rogic plays for Celtic as a midfielder and is 29 years old.
In the second half, the Vietnamese team replaced 5 people in one go, but it was always ineffective in attack. In the 52nd minute, the Vietnamese team only had a chance to play this game, but Pham JunHai's final-minute shot was deflected off the goalpost.
After the 70th minute, Vietnam's physical weaknesses were somewhat inadequate, and Australian goalkeeper Matthew Ryan found Goodwin with a big foot inside the penalty area, who formed a one-handed pick-and-shoot goal. The goal was very simple, which shows that the Vietnamese team is indeed two or three notches behind the Australian team in terms of strength.
In the 75th minute, Australia scored their fourth goal when Goodwin assisted McGrey's low shot. In the end, the score of 4-0 was maintained to the full court. After this campaign, Vietnam has not scored a score in the round of 12 so far. Lost 7 games and conceded 15 goals.
This game also set 2 humiliating records. First, Vietnam did not score a point in 7 games of the round of 12, setting a record for the most humiliating in the history of the team; second, the loss was also the eighth consecutive defeat of Vietnam in the round of 40 and the round of 12, setting a record for the most embarrassing event in team history.
Many Chinese fans are also counting on the Vietnamese team to block the Australian team, which is simply impossible. Australia have locked up the third place in advance, and in the rest of the matches, they will compete with Japan for the second place. Because, if they are third, they will compete with South American teams for a World Cup place, which is too difficult.
