(Dan Tri) - Despite losing to China and Uzbekistan, the Vietnamese team unexpectedly rose one place to 94th in the world .
The Vietnamese team did not play well in the recent friendly matches when they lost to China and Uzbekistan with the same score of 0-2. However, we only lost 4.48 points after the loss to China and did not lose points after the loss to Uzbekistan because this was an unofficial match.

Even after two defeats, coach Troussier's team moved up one place to 94th in the world. The reason is because Armenia was deducted 16.32 points after an unbelievable defeat against the weak team Latvia.
With this defeat, Armenia has dropped 4 places to 95th in the world. As of October 14, the Vietnamese team has 1238.66 points, slightly higher than Armenia (1238.15 points).
However, the Vietnamese team is not sure to keep this position. On October 17, the "Golden Star Warriors" still have an important match with the Korean team (ranked 26th in the world).
Due to the large difference in rankings between the two teams, if we win, we will be awarded 7.6 points. If we draw with Korea, the Vietnamese team will be awarded 2.6 points and will be deducted 2.4 points if we lose.

Meanwhile, Armenia will also face North Macedonia (ranked 66th in the world) on October 17. If they win, Armenia will likely surpass Vietnam in the FIFA rankings.
After two consecutive defeats against China and Uzbekistan, the Vietnamese team is facing a lot of doubts. Fans are extremely disappointed with the performance of their team. In fact, in the match against Uzbekistan, we did not even have a single shot.
In the past, the Vietnamese team has faced Korea 6 times. Of which, the "Golden Dragons" won 1 and lost 5. The team's only victory against Korea was on October 19, 2003 in the Asian Cup qualifiers.
