With the main purpose of evaluating personnel and testing the playing style, head coach Giustozzi Diego Raul created opportunities for rookies and young faces to play. Although not using the strongest lineup, the Vietnam Futsal team still showed the strength of a team ranked 15 places above its opponent in the world rankings when creating an overwhelming situation right from the beginning of the match.

However, it was not until the 16th minute that coach Giustozzi Diego Raul's players were able to break the deadlock. Chau Doan Phat's low shot hit the post and into the net to open the scoring for the Vietnam Futsal team.

In the second half, the Vietnamese Futsal team continued to maintain their pressure. In the 32nd minute, Tran Duy raised the score to 2-0 with a tricky shot from outside the penalty area into the far corner, and then a few minutes later, it was Thinh Phat's turn to score with a goal that widened the gap to 3 goals.

In the final minutes of the match, taking advantage of the other team's impatience to find an equalizer, the Vietnam Futsal team scored two more goals, by Duong Ngoc Linh with a shot into the far corner and goalkeeper Huu Phuc with a situation that seized the opportunity from the other team's power-play tactical mistake, sealing a 5-0 victory for the Vietnam Futsal team.

At 5:00 p.m. this afternoon, May 26, the two teams will have a friendly match again at Thai Son Nam Stadium, District 8.
