Vietnam win int’l friendly football tourney with 3-0 victory over India

Both sides fielded their best players, with the hosts making ten changes from the last formation produced against Singapore in the opening game of the tripartite tourney last week.

World No. 97 Vietnam took some time to settle before making their first attack in the ninth minute, but a long range effort from Ho Tan Tai was saved by Indian goalkeeper Gurpreet Singh Sandhu.

From the following corner, Phan Van Duc put in a brilliant volley to score the first goal for Vietnam in the 10th minute after a rebound from the clearance of the initial corner kick. 

Despite the lead, Vietnam did not sit back, looking to score their second goal of the night.

The Indian players also carved out several scoring chances, but they tried in vain.

After the break, coach Park Hang Seo made several substitutions in both offensive and defensive lines.

Nguyen Van Toan replaced Nguyen Cong Phuong and just four minutes later, he scored a goal, extending Vietnam’s lead.

In the 70th minute, Bui Hoang Viet Anh and Nguyen Van Quyet were sent in and made an instant impact.

Viet Anh’s cross from the right flank was headed clear by center-back Sandesh Jhingan, but Van Quyet got on the stray ball and smashed it home.

Had it not been for spectacular saves by Gurpreet in the final minutes, the scoreline would have been even worse for India.

The 3-0 victory, along with the 4-0 win over Singapore, concluded the tournament and put Vietnam on top.

India and Singapore had played out a 1-1 draw on Saturday.

The friendly competition is considered a big test for Vietnam as they are preparing for the 2022 AFF Mitsubishi Electric Cup due to take place this December.

The blooming bauhinia variegata trees make many people think they are lost in the mountain of the Northwestern region. The bauhinia variegata flowers are conspicuous, white and purple, with five soft petals, featuring the typical beauty of the high mountain in the north. The Ban flower season starts in late February and lasts till April. When the flowers are blooming, they look like a fan. Although there are several colours, white and purple are the main colours. At the beginning of the flower season, many roads in Hanoi look more romantic and attractive. On weekends, many foreign visitors choose to call at Ciputra to watch bauhinia variegate blossoming. “We feel as if we get lost in a mountain in the northern highlands of Vietnam,” says Shachin, an Indian visitor and his wife. The Indian couple do not forget to capture an impressive moment right in Hanoi instead of travelling far up north. “We are very happy and l...

Weaving village in the city

There are now very few families pursuing the trade, but they still try to continue preserving the brand of the traditional trade village. A golden age Few families in Bay Hien weaving village use looms. Nguyen Thi Hue, 80, is the oldest artisan and is one of very few artisans following the ups and downs of the village.
