On the evening of September 5, the Vietnamese team had its opening match in the LPBank Cup 2024 friendly tournament against the Russian team at My Dinh Stadium.
Coach Kim Sang-sik gave goalkeeper Dang Van Lam the chance to start. This is a special memory for Van Lam when he gets to face his motherland team.
Under pressure from the Russian team's attack, he had a hard day's work. In the 62nd minute, Van Thanh passed the ball back but Van Lam missed, the ball slowly rolled into the net. He could not hide his disappointment after this fatal mistake.
After the match, Van Lam shared about this situation: "In the second goal, everyone clearly saw that it was my fault. I was very sad because I couldn't help the team in that goal.
The Vietnamese team is used to the exciting atmosphere like before, but today it could be because people are afraid of the storm so they didn't come to the stadium. It's really sad, I hope that in the next match, fans will come to the stadium to cheer for the Vietnamese team."
The next match, Vietnam will face Thailand at 8:00 p.m. on September 10 at My Dinh. Nguyen Filip may replace Van Lam in this match.
