2-0 victory in the second leg of the semi-finals… director Park Hang-seo’s “Farewell Stage” challenged to win
The Vietnam national football team, led by coach Park Hang-seo (64), advanced to the final of the ‘Southeast Asian World Cup’ by defeating Indonesia, led by coach Shin Tae-yong (53 ).
Coach Park took the opportunity to part ways beautifully with Vietnam by winning the farewell leg.
Vietnam defeated Indonesia 2-0 with the performance of Nguyen Tien Linh who scores more goals in the semi-final second leg of the Football Federation of Southeast Asia (AFF) Mitsubishi Cup 2022 held at My Dinh National Stadium in Hanoi, Vietnam on the 9th.
After drawing 0-0 in the first leg, Vietnam beat Indonesia by a two-goal margin after combining the two matches to advance to the final.
This tournament is called the “Southeast Asian World Cup” and is a biennial tournament with the highest authority in the region.
In 2018, under coach Park, Vietnam won the tournament.
With this victory, Park is only one step away from returning to the top of the tournament.
Coach Park plans to end his five-year partnership with Vietnam after this tournament.
Director Park’s latest opponent is Malaysia or Thailand.
In the semifinal between the two teams, Malaysia’s coach Kim Pan-gon, who won 1-0 in the first leg, took the lead.
Coach Park continued his superiority with 2 wins and 2 draws in head to head match with coach Shin.
If we include the direct matches between the under 23 national teams (U23), coach Park is ahead with 3 wins and 2 draws.
On the other hand, Indonesia ‘Shin Tae-yong’, who finished second in the 2020 Suzuki Cup (now Mitsubishi Cup) shortly before, suffered a semi-final defeat in the second tie.
Vietnam took the lead through forward Thien Linh’s goal in the third minute of play.
Tien Linh, who received a loose pass from long range in the penalty area after one contest, tasted the goal with a calm right-footed shot.
Vietnam, which was slightly ahead in the first half on 53%-47%, continued to take the lead in shooting (4-2) and effective shooting (2-0).
As the second half began, Vietnam began to attack, and in the second minute, Thien Linh rattled the net again and predicted victory.
Tien Linh completed a multi-goal by redirecting a corner kick from the left side to his head.
Vietnam’s solid defense, which had been scoreless for 6 consecutive games up until this match, did not give Indonesia a chance to do so until the end of the match.
Indonesia struggled from start to finish, failing to register a single shot on target throughout the game, and had to accept defeat as they failed to register a single shot during the 5 minutes of extra time of the second half.
