As expected before the match, Coach Huu Thang arranged for the midfielder pair Tuan Anh and Xuan Truong to play together from the beginning of the match to stabilize the midfield framework for the Vietnam National Team. With a squad of only 2 strikers, the Nghe An strategist also used both Cong Phuong and Van Quyet, Thanh Trung in attack.
Facing a physically strong opponent and a rather uncomfortable playing style like Jordan, coach Huu Thang was forced not to push up the formation to attack but to explore the opponent. Meanwhile, despite Vietnam giving up the game, the Jordanese players also showed some caution when slowly deploying the ball and not being too impatient in attack situations.
Therefore, the most notable situation in the first half came from a set piece. In the 24th minute, the Vietnamese team was awarded a free kick from the right wing, the free kick from captain Thanh Trung defeated the opposing goalkeeper but hit the post.
In the second half, the game was somewhat more open and attractive as both teams played an open game. Many consecutive storms were created by the two teams, unfortunately those opportunities could not be converted into goals.
In the final minutes of the match, the Vietnamese team had to continuously defend against the opponent's attacks, and only the excellence of goalkeeper Van Lam and luck saved the visitors' goals. The match ended without any goals scored, forcing the two teams to share points.
Holding the score to DT Jordan with a score of 0-0 in the second match of the 2019 Asian Cup qualifiers at Thong Nhat Stadium (HCMC) on the afternoon of June 13, the Vietnam team fell to 3rd place in Group C. Because in the match at the same time in Group C, Cambodia won 1-0 against Afghanistan to rise to 2nd place.
