Viet Nam’s Olympic football team received plaudits from international media after creating football history for the second time this year.

Beating Syria 1-0 in the Asian Games (ASIAD) 2018 quarterfinal on August 27, the team secured a spot in the men’s semi-final.

On its website, Fox Sports Asia complimented Nguyen Van Toan’s goal while extolling a long ball from defender Bui Tien Dung which gave Nguyen Anh Duc a glorious chance.

Meanwhile, Yonhap News wrote “Viet Nam football coach Park Hang-seo found himself in an awkward position after his side beat Syria 1-0 in their quarter-final match at the 18^th Asian Games on Monday”.
