Golden goal takes Vietnam futsal team to World Cup
Due to the impact of the COVID-19 epidemic, the 2019 Asian Futsal Championship and also the qualifying round of the 2020 FIFA Futsal World Cup will not be held. The Asian Football Confederation (AFC) then decided to draw lots based on the rankings of teams in the Asian region to pair up the two first and second leg of the play-off matches, thereby selecting the teams to the tournament taking place in Lithuania.
The fact that the Vietnam futsal team only faced Lebanon in 2 play-off matches is considered a suitable opponent and coach Pham Minh Giang and his team can make a difference. Both matches will take place on neutral ground in the UAE, so the Vietnam futsal team is determined to be the home team in the first match. At the end of the match, coach Pham Minh Giang and his team held the opponent to a 0-0 draw, a favorable result for the Vietnam futsal team for not conceding a goal at home.
In the return match that took place a few days later, the Vietnam futsal team had an even advantage after Chau Doan Phat had a situation where he dribbled past the opponent player before kicking into the Lebanese net to open the score for the home team. A few seconds later, Lebanon equalized 1-1, and this was also the final score of the match. With the goal scored away from home thanks to Doan Phat's goal, the Vietnam futsal team won a ticket to the FIFA Futsal World Cup 2020. Opening a proud journey and there, Chau Doan Phat continued to be called out with the mark of a hero.
The person who decides the ticket to the round of 16
The Vietnam futsal team needs a draw against the Czech Republic to win a ticket to the 1/8 round of the FIFA Futsal World Cup 2020. This is an extremely difficult goal for coach Pham Minh Giang and his team because the opponent from Europe is currently ranked 15th on the FIFA rankings, 29 places ahead of the Vietnam futsal team. This partly reflects the strength difference between the two teams.
In fact, the Czech Republic played pressurely for most of the match against the Vietnamese team. However, with the excellence of goalkeeper Ho Van Y, the Vietnam futsal team still stood firm against the attacks of the opponent.
turning the match around in the 35th minute, Chau Doan Phat stole the ball from the Czech Republic player, then he delicately pushed the ball through the legs of an opponent's defender before firing a long-range shot to open the score for the Vietnam futsal team.
Just like in the play-off match against Lebanon, the Czech Republic also quickly scored an equalizer after Doan Phat scored a few seconds from a mistake by captain Duc Hoa. However, the Vietnam futsal team also did everything to protect this 1-1 draw until the final whistle blew. In the end, the Vietnam futsal team won a ticket to the 1/8 round of the FIFA Futsal World Cup 2020, something we also did 5 years ago in this playground.
Before that, Chau Doan Phat also contributed greatly to the 3-2 victory over Panama. He was the result of a mixed reaction and a goal in this match, thereby lighting up the hope of going on for the Vietnam futsal team. With Chau Doan Phat, the player born in 1999, he has been and is the hero of the Vietnam futsal team, with extremely impressive and extremely important goals.
