Facing Hong Kong (China) which was rated lower, the Vietnamese team completely dominated in the friendly match at Lach Tray Stadium ( Hai Phong ).

Coach Philippe Troussier fielded his best attacking players such as Hoang Duc, Tuan Anh, Quang Hai and young striker Van Tung.

However, this was a match where the Vietnamese strikers played quite deadlocked and lacked decisiveness in the final handling situations.

The only goal of the Vietnamese team came thanks to a successful penalty by Que Ngoc Hai in the 32nd minute, after Quang Hai was fouled by Helio Goncalves in the penalty area.

The Vietnam team had a comfortable 1-0 victory over Hong Kong (China) in the match of coach Philippe Troussier's debut.

At 7:30 p.m. on June 20, the Vietnamese team will play a friendly match with Syria at Thien Truong Stadium ( Nam Dinh ).

After the match, coach Philippe Troussier did not appear in the press conference. The French strategist did not give a specific reason, while the VFF said it would notify the media at the appropriate time.

Meanwhile, Hong Kong (China) coach Jorn Andersen shared: "We didn't get into the rhythm in the first 5 or 7 minutes, but from then on, Hong Kong (China) played better and better, actively pressing high, even hitting the crossbar with a shot.

Today, the team played better than the match against Malaysia. I think the penalty situation that led to our loss was not clear. Anyway, the referee is the one to decide.

I am happy that Hong Kong (China) is increasingly narrowing the gap in level with football teams in the Asian region."

On June 19, Hong Kong (China) will play a friendly match with Thailand in Bangkok.

Coach Jorn Andersen affirmed: "We created many opportunities but did not take advantage of them well against the Vietnamese team, so we need to try to improve this in the match against Thailand."
