In terms of the current world futsal rankings, the Solomon Islands futsal team is ranked 54th, 15 places lower than the Vietnam futsal team. However, the futsal representative from Oceania has qualified for the Futsal World Cup four times in a row, from 2008 to 2021.
Facing a weaker opponent, the Vietnamese futsal team took to the field with a lineup that included many new players. Coach Diego Giustozzi is looking to review the squad and make more detailed assessments of the new players to finalize the list for the upcoming overseas training trip.
The Vietnamese futsal team (in yellow shirts) had difficulty finding goals in the early stages.
After the opening whistle, although the Vietnamese futsal team had better possession of the ball and dominated the game, the first dangerous opportunity of the first half was created by the opposing team. In the 10th minute, player number 14 of the Solomon futsal team won the ball from a wrong pass from the Vietnamese player and had a good chance to open the score. However, in a one-on-one situation, the Solomon player's shot was not difficult enough to defeat goalkeeper Huu Phuc.
After that, the appearance of Nguyen Minh Tri and Tran Van Vu on the field helped the Vietnamese futsal team play better and have more dangerous opportunities. Meanwhile, Chau Doan Phat was also a prominent player with impressive long-range shots. In the 16th minute, Chau Doan Phat left his mark with a signature move to break the deadlock. From the left wing, Doan Phat turned the ball inside and then unleashed a tricky low shot to open the score for the Vietnamese futsal team.

In the second half, the Vietnamese futsal team continued to control the ball better. The Solomon futsal team also had times when they rose strongly and caused many problems for the goal of coach Diego Giustozzi. However, goalkeeper Huu Phuc did not disappoint the coaching staff's trust when he played very well with many excellent saves.
In the 12th minute of the second half, Nguyen Tran Duy dribbled from the right wing into the middle and then fired a powerful shot into the Solomon net, doubling the gap for the Vietnamese futsal team. Excited after taking a 2-goal lead, the Vietnamese futsal team scored 3 more goals before the match ended.
