At 20:00 Beijing time on March 24, the 9th round of Group B of the 2022 World Cup Qualifiers in the Asian Zone Round of 12: Vietnam vs Oman.
Group B is currently japan in 9 games 21 points in the first place, Saudi Arabia 8 games 19 points in second place, two have advanced to the 2022 World Cup main match, Australia 9 games 15 points ranked third, can only play the play-offs. Oman ranked fourth with 8 points, the national football team ranked fourth with 5 points, and Vietnam finished at the bottom with 3 points, and the only victory was won by the national football team.
This game, for both sides, is a "battle of honor", Oman has no desire, Vietnam needs to prove that they can not only take points from the national football team, the first World Preliminary Round trip, and strive not to end at the bottom.
Vietnam started 442, Nguyen Jin Ling and Pham Jun Hai double forwards, midfielders Nguyen Quang Hoi, Wu Van Thanh, Nguyen Jung Anh and Du Yong Hung, four defenders Nguyen Thanh Chung, Hu Jin Cai, Pei Huang Yue Ying, Gui Ngoc Hai, goalkeeper Tan Yuan Meng. The total value of the starting eleven is 2.55 million euros.
Oman also started at 442, with Khalid Al-Hajiri and Abdullah Fawaz double forwards. The total value of the starting eleven is 4.02 million euros.
In the opening 7th point account, Oman's backfield mistake was broken, Nguyen Quang Hai was directly plugged, Nguyen Thanh Ling took the ball and shot from outside the box, which was blocked by the defenders.
In the 9th minute, the ball was thrown outside the Vietnamese front, Hu Jincai crossed the penalty area obliquely, and Nguyen Thanh Ling's header did not reach the top.
In the 10th minute, Oman's underdog cross was met by Favaz, who did not kick the penalty spot inside the penalty area and was released by the defender.
In the 12th minute, Oman's short pass from the front was coordinated, and Hajiri's kick from outside the penalty area was confiscated by Chen Yuanmeng.
In the 22nd minute, the Vietnamese backcourt was wrong, Agbari took the ball and split it to the right, Saadi obliquely stopped, Hajiri failed to play right, missed the opportunity.
In the 24th minute, omani midfielder crossed widely, and Agbari broke through the inside with the ball and pumped a shot, which was blocked by Bae Huang Yueying.
In the 28th minute, Nguyen Quang Hai's volley from outside the penalty area did not hit the force and was confiscated by the goalkeeper.
In the 39th minute, Halsey's cross from the right was met by Hajri, who fell to the ground in the penalty area and shoveled a shot that was blocked by Bae Huang Yueying.
Judging from the situation in the first half, Vietnam can only win the national football team once, even if the national football team loses the last two games, It is difficult for Vietnam to get rid of the bottom of the group.
In the 66th minute, Oman's corner kick from the right was released, and at the back of the post, Hajiri's header was scored, and the ball was scored! Chen Yuanmeng struggled to save, but he did not have enough to prevent the ball from entering the net. Vietnam trails Oman 0:1.
In the end, Vietnam lost 0:1 at home to Oman, 9-1 wins and 8 losses still accumulated 3 points, continued to be at the bottom of the B group table, the only win was the home 3-1 defeat of the national football team. In the last round, Vietnam will play away to Japan, and Japan will compete with Saudi Arabia for the first place in the group, which will not give Vietnam any chance. Before this round against Saudi Arabia, the national football team still ranked second from the bottom of Group B with 5 points in 8 games, and even if the last two rounds were lost, I am afraid that it would not finally be overtaken by Vietnam.
