The 10-man Vietnam was beaten back to its original form after 2 consecutive defeats, and Japan was sure to miss the top spot

In the second round of Group D of the Asian Cup, which ended in the early morning of January 20, Beijing time, Vietnam, ranked 94th in the world, lost 0-1 to Indonesia, ranked 146th in the world. After suffering two consecutive defeats, the Vietnamese team went out early and became the first team to exit this Asian Cup.

In the first round, the Vietnamese team lost 2-4 to the favorite Japanese men's football team, which seems to show the great progress of the Vietnamese men's football team in recent years. However, in this game, facing Indonesia, which is also from Southeast Asia, the Vietnamese team was beaten back to its original form.

At full time, the Vietnamese team did not have the upper hand. On the contrary, in the 42nd minute, Vietnam accidentally conceded a goal. At that time, Vietnam's Nguyen Thanh Binh pulled down an Indonesian player in the penalty area, and the referee awarded a penalty kick at the first time. Despite VAR intervention, the referee upheld the penalty unchanged. Indonesia was hit by Asnawi Baja's penalty shooter, which was also the only goal of the game.

At the last moment of the game, Vietnamese player Le Van Thanh Long also received his second yellow card for putting down the Indonesian player, and was sent off for two yellows and one red.

At present, in the Group D standings, Iraq has 6 points from 2 consecutive wins. Japan is temporarily second with 3 points, Indonesia is temporarily third with 3 points, and Vietnam is at the bottom of the group with 0 points.

In the final round, Japan will play Indonesia and Iraq will play Vietnam. Due to the tie point first, Iraq beat Japan 2-1 and Indonesia 3-1. In the final round, even if Japan beat Indonesia and Iraq lost to Vietnam, they will be second in the group, so Iraq has already locked up the top of the group, and even if the Vietnamese team beat Iraq, they will be eliminated early because of the disadvantage with Indonesia and Japan, becoming the first team to be eliminated from this Asian Cup.
