The final round of the World Preliminary Round of 12, Japan and Vietnam, played a super underdog. The Japanese team was blown in the goal + Maya Yoshida was super empty, and was forced to draw 1-1 by the Vietnamese team. After the match, Vietnam's first World Preliminary Tournament trip was also over, and their results were: 3-1 defeat to China, 1-1 upset Japan, with 4 points in group B to the bottom of the first place. As a new army that has entered the World Preliminary Tournament for the first time, the vietnamese team has actually achieved very good results, even better than the previous Thai team.
Vietnam's final result: 3-1 China, 1-1 Japan, 4 points at the bottom
Vietnam is a new force in this World Cup, and under the leadership of South Korean coach Park Heong-su, they have advanced to the Asian Round of 12 for the first time in history. In the previous seven World Cup preliminaries, Vietnam suffered seven consecutive defeats. It wasn't until they ushered in the second leg of the match with the Chinese team that they stopped their decline. In this game, Vietnam defeated China 3-1 to get their first victory and 3 points in the World Preliminary Round. This victory, which is of great significance to the Vietnamese team, is almost a milestone victory for them in the World Preliminary Round.
However, although the Vietnamese team defeated the national football team, they did not continue their excellent state in the last round of matches, losing 0-1 at home to Oman, and finally their ranking had no chance to surpass the Chinese team.
In this round of matches against Japan, both sides played very openly because the Japanese team had already advanced early. Instead, the Vietnamese team took the lead in scoring, Nguyen Gong Fung sent a wonderful assist, and Nguyen Thanh Binh used his personal ability to score a goal from Japan away. In the ensuing game, the Vietnamese team shrank the defensive line and the Japanese team attacked wildly. Japan's goal didn't come until the second half of the game, and Ma Yoshida also used the header to help the team score. In the following matches, although the Japanese team scored the second goal, Takumi Minamino was the first to handball, and the final goal was invalid. In addition, Ma Yoshida also had a super empty door.
It was probably the relaxation of the Japanese team that allowed the Vietnamese team to get a valuable 1-1! From the data point of view, the Japanese team is still an invincible presence in Asia. In this game, their shooting data is as high as 25 feet, while the Vietnamese team only has 1 foot, 25-1 shooting data, and it is really incredible that the Vietnamese team can get a 1-1 draw. That's probably football. The Vietnamese team's tenacious defense also won the respect of Japanese fans and players, and after the game, there was a warm applause at the scene.
With the end of the final round of matches, the final result of the Vietnamese team was also locked in 4 points, which were 3-1 to defeat the Chinese team and 1-1 to the Japanese team to get it, which can be described as full of gold.
