In a thrilling match that kept fans on the edge of their seats, Vietnam’s second team showcased exceptional skills and teamwork as they secured their second victory in the ASEAN Police Football Open. The game against Australia turned out to be a high-scoring affair, with Vietnam 2 emerging victorious with a resounding scoreline of 10-3.
The host team put up an impressive performance, led by standout player Đức Nam who scored a brace. Other players such as Tiến Thành, Ngọc Duy, Mạnh Duy, Văn Chương, and Như Tuấn also made significant contributions by finding the back of the net in the first half. Despite Australia’s efforts to narrow the gap with a goal from Ngọc Nam in the 35th minute, they struggled to contain Vietnam’s attacking prowess.
As the second half unfolded, Vietnamese players continued their dominance by adding three more goals to their tally. While Australia fought hard and launched several attacks, they were unable to stage a comeback against Vietnam’s relentless offensive play. The comprehensive victory not only solidified Vietnam 2’s position in the tournament but also earned them a spot in the semi-finals.
