The Vietnamese futsal team lost to Thailand 0-1.
Entering the match needing a win, the Vietnamese team was forced to play cautiously and prioritize defense. Thailand dominated in the early minutes and created many pressing opportunities. However, coach Diego Giustozzi's players played tightly and disciplined, not allowing their opponents any dangerous chances.
After a goalless first half, the Vietnamese futsal team unexpectedly increased the tempo and played offensively at the beginning of the second half. This somewhat confused Thailand and prevented them from playing as intended. The Vietnamese team created several notable opportunities, but Nhan Gia Hung, Tran Thai Huy, and Nguyen Da Hai all missed them unfortunately.
Thailand then regained control of the game, putting pressure back on their opponents. Goalkeeper Pham Van Tu and his teammates struggled to prevent the opposing team's attacks.
The Vietnamese team defended successfully in most situations, except for a moment with 5 minutes remaining. Krit Aransanyalak seized the opportunity to unleash a powerful shot into the far corner, scoring the only goal and giving Thailand a 1-0 victory.
Losing 0-1, the Vietnamese futsal team finished second in Group B of the AFC Futsal Asian Cup. Vietnam's opponent in the next round will most likely be Indonesia, the host nation and defending SEA Games champion.

Information about the Vietnam and Thailand national teams.
After the first two matches in Group B, the Vietnamese futsal team is temporarily in second place with 6 points, 7 goals scored and 4 goals conceded. Coach Diego Giustozzi's team is behind Thailand due to an inferior goal difference.
Both teams have already secured their places in the knockout stage. The match in the final round will only determine the top spot and their opponents in the next round.
The Vietnamese national team has yet to give fans a sense of security. Coach Diego Giustozzi's players struggled to beat Kuwait 5-4, then defeated Lebanon 2-0.
Similar to the SEA Games 33, the Vietnamese futsal team's strengths lie in their sharp ball handling and coordination. However, their effectiveness in both attack and defense has been inconsistent.
Chau Doan Phat and his teammates had some very good matches, but the attack missed too many opportunities. When the players had good finishing, their defense was sloppy.
Meanwhile, Thailand has consistently been one of the strongest futsal teams in Asia. Even when the Thai team faltered at the SEA Games 33, they still didn't lose to the Vietnamese team.
