Unlike the heavy 1-7 loss to Oman in the opening match, the Vietnamese team has completely changed their tactics, no longer attacking but switching to cautious play.
The Vietnamese team chose a tight defensive approach, dropping the formation deep to protect the goal, thereby neutralizing most of Bahrain's attacks. The first half ended without any goals scored.
Entering the second half, Vietnam suddenly took the lead. At the end of the match, after a dangerous header from Phan Dat, the Bahrain goalkeeper had an excellent save, but Ngoc Bao quickly arrived at the right time, kicking the ball into the net to open the score for Vietnam.
However, Bahrain did not accept easy defeat. In the third half, this team equalized 1-1 thanks to a goal from Samoul. With high spirits, Bahrain continues to increase the pressure. But in a sharp counter-attack, Phan Dat defeated Bahrain captain Husain Ali Aldoseri and scored to help Vietnam re-establish the 2-1 lead.
However, Bahrain did not give up and just 2 minutes later, Samoul scored again, bringing the score back to a 2-2 draw
In extra time, the Vietnamese team demonstrated their sharpness and superior bravery in scoring 2 goals in a row to win the final score with a score of 4-2.
