According to the match schedule, the Vietnam team will continue to face Nepal in the 4th match (reversal) of the final qualifying round of the 2027 Asian Cup on October 14.
In fact, this is a home match of the Nepal team, but this team decided to choose to play at Thong Nhat Stadium (HCMC). This helps both teams ensure their physical strength, fitness and when not having to move around much.
Previously, in the match on October 9, the Vietnam team won 3-1 against Nepal. However, the performance of coach Kim Sang-sik and his team has not been able to satisfy fans.
Throughout the first half, apart from Tien Linh's early goal, the Vietnamese team could not create enough pressure to put pressure on the opponent, even Laos had an equalizer from a corner kick - their only chance in the first half.
It was not until the second half when a Nepalese player was sent off for a red card that Vietnam could coordinate their attacks more effectively to bring about a favorable result.
In the upcoming rematch, Hoang Duc and his teammates need to change their approach to the match as well as improve their scoring, making the most of opportunities. The Vietnamese team also needs to ensure a big win to gain the advantage in goal against Malaysia.
The match between Vietnam and Nepal will take place at 7:30 p.m. on October 14 at Thong Nhat Stadium (HCMC).
