Vietnam defeated Indonesia 3-1 in the AFC second round of the 2022 FIFA World Cup qualification at Kapten I Wayan Dipta Stadium (Indonesia) on October 15.
 
Coach Park Hang Seo made two changes from last week’s win against Malaysia with Tien Linh and Duc Huy coming for Cong Phuong and Tuan Anh. 
 
Duy Manh got Vietnam on the board first in the 26th minute when he slotted in from close range after Doan Van Hau headed the ball towards goal. The first half ended 1-0 for Park Hang Seo’s side.

 

 
Vietnam maintained their tempo in the second half. Do Hung Dung was brought down in the box by Indonesian defender, and Que Ngoc Hai doubled the lead for the visitors in the 55th minute.
 
Only six minutes after, Tien Linh received a pass from Trong Hoang, beat Indonesia’s goalkeeper and made it 3-0 for Vietnam. 
 
A lapse in concentration saw Vietnam concede the first goal in the tournament seven minutes from stoppage time.
 
Vietnam had a chance to increase the score in the injury time, but Do Hung Dung’s penalty kick was saved by Indonesian goalkeeper.
 
Three points from this win moved Vietnam up to second position in Group G while Thailand topped the group after beating UAE 2-1.
