The Vietnamese team lost 0-6 to South Korea in an away friendly match on the evening of October 17.
The Vietnamese team faced a very difficult challenge when Korea fielded their strongest lineup. Son Heung-min recovered from injury and started. Against an opponent who was completely superior in skill, the Vietnamese team lost heavily.
The Vietnamese team conceded a goal in the 5th minute. From a corner kick by Lee Kang-in, Kim Min-jae jumped high to head the ball into the net to open the score for the Korean team. The Vietnamese team once again revealed their weakness in organizing their defense.
The Vietnamese team could barely withstand the opponents' coherent attacks at a very high level. If luckier, Son Heung-min and Cho Gue-sung could have scored more goals with the very clear chances created by the home team.
Vietnam team lost heavily to Korea
Dang Van Lam's luck and brilliance helped the Vietnamese team escape defeat many times. However, the Korean team still scored. In the 27th minute, from a great pass from Lee Jae-sung, Hwang Hee-chan escaped and finished gently to double the gap for the home team.
The Vietnamese team faced many difficulties but bright spots still appeared in a few counter-attacks. Truong Tien Anh was given two consecutive opportunities. Player number 28 calmly handled the ball, eliminated a Korean defender and shot the ball just wide of the goal.
In the second half, the Vietnamese team continued to be under great pressure. In the 50th minute, Son Heung-min broke free and made a pass that defeated goalkeeper Dang Van Lam. Vo Minh Trong scored an own goal in an attempt to prevent Cho Gue-sung from finishing. Just 10 minutes later, Son Heung-min scored a goal himself after a good combination with Hwang Hee-chan who went straight down the middle.
The match became even more difficult for the Vietnamese team when Bui Hoang Viet Anh received a red card. This was a somewhat unjust situation for the center back of the Hanoi Police Club. In the 70th minute, Lee Kang-in handled the ball very well before finishing with class to increase the score to 5-0.
The bright spot for the Vietnamese team was Khuat Van Khang's free kick that hit the post. This was the most dangerous opportunity for the Vietnamese team in the second half.
The match ended when Jeong Woo-yeong scored the winning goal for the Korean team 6-0. Thus, after 3 friendly matches with strong teams, the Vietnamese team lost 3 matches, conceded 10 goals and did not score any.
