(Dan Tri) - Despite facing the world's 8th ranked opponent, Morocco, the Vietnam Futsal team still excelled in holding their opponent to a 3-3 draw.
After a 2-2 draw against New Zealand in the first match of the international friendly tournament in Vietnam, Vietnam Futsal entered an extremely difficult match with Morocco in the second match. This is a very strong opponent when ranked 8th in the world. In the first match, Morocco won 5-4 against the strongest team in Asia, Iran.

However, coach Diego Giustozzi's team played extremely resilient. Instead of defending, the team suddenly played preemptively against the opponent. This risk helped Vietnam Futsal score a goal right in the 30th second.
Taking advantage of the Moroccan player's clearance, Tu Minh Quang fired a shot that left the opponent's goalkeeper unable to react, opening the score for Vietnam Futsal.
After this loss, Morocco raised their squad and equalized in the 3rd minute after Mottaki's finish. However, Vietnam Futsal still shows good spirit. By the 6th minute, we took the lead after Duc Hoa's goal from the penalty spot.
Goalkeeper Ho Van Y had a good match, but he could not prevent Morocco from scoring a 2-2 equalizer at the end of the first half.
In the second half, Vietnamese Futsal played quite well. Our high-pressing strategy made it difficult for Morocco. At minute 2, Vietnam Futsal continued to lead 32-3. After Nhat Trung's pass, Chu Van Tien finished the ball from close range into the opponent's net. In the last minutes, Morocco played power play and scored a 2-3 equalizer in the 3th minute.
Although unable to win, holding a very strong opponent, Morocco, was also a great success for Vietnam Futsal. We are ranked 3rd with 2 points after two draws against New Zealand and Morocco. Topping the table is Morocco with 4 points, ranked second is Iran with 2 points. In this match, Iran won easily with a score of 3-5.
Vietnam Futsal will face Iran in the final match at 17:00 p.m. on March 31.
