Viet Nam opened the scoreboard in the 26^th minute after Indonesia's clumsy clearance enabled an easy tap-in by Do Duy Manh.

At the 53^rd minute, Do Hung Dung was slide-tackled in Indonesia’s box, earning a penalty for Vietnam.

Que Ngoc Hai did not miss this opportunity, scoring the second goal for Vietnam.

At the 57^th minute, Nguyen Van Toan was presented with a chance to score, but an Indonesian player cleared it.

Not long later, at the 61^st minute, Nguyen Tien Linh scored on a one-on-one after a pass from Nguyen Trong Hoang.

At the 72^nd minute, Beto Goncalves' shot nearly went into Dang Van Lam's goal, but the keeper had the situation in control.

Twelve minutes later, Indonesia scored their first goal thanks to a shot that sailed past three Vietnamese defenders and goalkeeper.

The second half went on with five additional minutes.

At the 94^th minute, Otavio Dutra fouled Nguyen Quang Hai in the area. But this time, Do Hung Dung failed to score one more goal for Viet Nam.

Earlier, Viet Nam had a victory at the World Cup 2022’s qualifiers in the match against Malaysia at the My Dinh National Stadium in Ha Noi on 10 October.

On 5 September, Viet Nam had a goalless match with Thailand in a frenetic match in the opener Group G in Thailand’s Pathum Thani province.

Viet Nam are in the same group of World Cup qualifiers with regional rivals Thailand, Malaysia and Indonesia, as well as the favourites United Arab Emirates (UAE).

The 2022 FIFA World Cup’s second qualifying round for Asia features 40 teams, divided into eight groups of five teams, playing in the home-away format.

The eight group winners and four best runners-up will qualify for the third and final round of World Cup qualifiers.
