It was not beyond prediction, the Vietnam futsal team, with nothing to lose, created an extremely attractive match against the Panama futsal team. The "Golden Star Warriors" had a thrilling victory with a score of 3-2 against the representative of the American country.
However, looking at the situation of the match, many people really regretted the Vietnam futsal team. In addition to the unjustly deprived goal by goalkeeper Van Y, coach Pham Minh Giang and his team also missed dozens of opportunities. Dac Huy, Minh Tri, Doan Phat and Duc Tung all had the opportunity to score more goals but failed.
This could cause difficulties for the Vietnam futsal team when comparing their goal difference with the opponents ranked 3rd in other groups. According to the tournament regulations, the 4 teams with the best results in the 6 groups will qualify for the round of 16. This is also a suitable goal for the Vietnam futsal team as getting points against the Czech Republic in the final round is not easy.
Currently, the Vietnam futsal team has 3 points with a goal difference of -7. If they get 1 point against the Czech futsal team, it will be considered a ticket to the knockout round. 4 points is the perfect score with the format of selecting 4 third-placed teams to the next round. If they lose, the Vietnam futsal team with a goal difference will be lower at -7 and wait for the results of the other groups.
In Group A, Lithuania and Costa Rica have no points with the goal difference of -4 and -6 respectively after 2 matches. They met in the final round and the goal was of course 3 points. If one of these two teams wins the match, their goal difference will of course be better than the Vietnam futsal team. If the score of this match is a draw, the Vietnam futsal team will eliminate 1 opponent.
In Group B, Guatemala will find it difficult to escape the heavy loss to Russia. However, the match between Egypt and Uzbekistan also has many unpredictable results. The scenario where all 3 teams get 3 points in this group can still happen. Egypt (-6), Guatemala (-2) have 3 points like Vietnam, while Uzbekistan has no points but the goal difference is only -3.
In Group C, perhaps Thailand or Morocco will definitely be one of the 4 3rd teams with the best results. In the final round, Thailand only has to meet Solomon Islands and if they win the match, they will have 4 points. If Morocco lose heavily to Portugal and fall to 3rd place due to a lack of Thailand, they will still be very safe because they have 4 points.
In groups E and F, the group situation depends a lot on the matches taking place tonight. However, Serbia in Group F is unlikely to avoid a heavy defeat to Argentina. Similarly, Paraguay will defeat Angola at all costs with the best result.
The Vietnam futsal team will meet the Czech futsal team at 8:00 p.m. on September 19. A draw could see both teams advance.
