In the remaining semi-final match held on the evening of April 10, the Thai futsal team defeated the Australian futsal team with a score of 4-3 after a dramatic chase. This result helped the home team win the right to enter the final against the Indonesian futsal team, and at the same time pushed Australia down to play the third-place match with the Vietnamese futsal team.
In the semi-final match against Thailand, Australia played hard and at many times created a balanced game. However, mistakes in the defense caused the representative of Oceania to suffer a narrow defeat, thereby missing the opportunity to participate in the final match of the tournament.
A few hours earlier, the Vietnam futsal team also went through a regrettable semi-final when they let Indonesia take a 2-goal lead in the first half. In the second half, coach Giustozzi's students tried to narrow the score but still could not reverse the situation, accepting a 2-3 defeat.
Thus, the Vietnamese futsal team will face Australia in the third-place match taking place on April 12. This is predicted to be a balanced match when both teams show great determination to close the tournament in the top 3 region.
