The Vietnamese futsal team closed the group stage in second place in Group A after two victories against Myanmar (4-0) and Timor-Leste (7-1), before losing to Thailand 2-4 in the final match.
Although not winning the top spot in the group, the team still showed stability in operating the playing style, especially in ball control and attacking organization. After 3 matches, the Vietnamese futsal team scored 13 goals and conceded 5 times.
The next opponent of the Vietnamese futsal team in the semi-finals of the Southeast Asian Championship is Indonesia, the top team in Group B and also the reigning regional champion.
The Indonesian futsal team is assessed to have a uniform level, good physical foundation and fast ball deployment speed. High-pressing play and flexible transitions help this team maintain continuous pressure on the opponent's half of the field.
In the most recent confrontation at the 2024 Southeast Asian Championship final, Indonesia won 2-0 against the Vietnamese futsal team. This result partly shows the difference in the ability to take advantage of opportunities as well as efficiency in decisive situations. This will be a factor that the Vietnamese futsal team needs to improve if they want to make changes in the rematch.
To have positive results, the Vietnam futsal team needs to overcome the limitations that have been revealed, especially the ability to defend in set pieces. In addition, finishing efficiency will also play an important role in a knockout match.
The match between the Vietnam and Indonesia futsal teams takes place at 5:00 p.m. today (April 10), live on TV360.
