The course of the match
First round
The Gold Star Warriors team dominated in the first half. They are comfortable on the ball and build fast attacks from the back and put pressure up front.
The scheme runs up to 20′ minutes. The Malayan tigers were forced to defend deeper and only hope for a counterattack. In fact, they arrived at the half-field brackets.
Interestingly, the defense of Tan Cheng Hoe’s team managed to appear solid. They managed to defend well and withstand all the onslaught of the opponent until the 30′ minute.
Unfortunately, they had to concede two minutes later. Vietnam continued to target the left side of the Malaysian defense and finally paid off with a hard kick by Nguyen Quang Hai in the 32′ minute after using Nguyen Tuan Anh’s cross.
After winning, the game of the Gold Star Warriors got even more crazier. Short foot-to-foot passes that rarely go wrong are a big threat.
As a result the second goal was created not long after that. Nguyen Cong Phuong doubled the lead in the 36th minute after using Quang Hai’s through ball. The goal at the same time closed the halftime break with a score of 2-0.
