Vietnam team received a heavy defeat against Indonesia

The Vietnamese team suffered a heavy defeat against Indonesia at My Dinh Stadium with a score of 0-3.

This result was surprising, but looking at the developments on the field, it is clear that defeat for the Vietnamese team is inevitable when playing under strength.

With this defeat, the Vietnamese team has almost no chance of continuing to the third qualifying round of the 2026 World Cup.

Minute 90+8: Indonesia has the third goal

After this goal, the referee also blew the whistle to end the match.

Minutes 45+2: First half ends

It seems that the mentality of having to win makes the Vietnamese team enter the game poorly. In the first 30 minutes, coach Troussier’s students made many mistakes from the defense to the front line.

The early loss made the Vietnamese team even more mentally ill, so it was not difficult to understand when they conceded the second goal.

It wasn’t until the end of the half, when Indonesia started to slow down, that the Vietnamese team played better and made some dangerous shots, but unfortunately the strikers were too inaccurate.

Speaking before the Vietnam vs Indonesia match

Coach Troussier (Vietnam national team):

“This is our 4th match in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers and the team’s goal is still to continue to the 3rd qualifying round.

The Vietnamese team still has 3 matches in hand and has complete freedom to decide. We are confident and have no doubts about our set goals, because 2/3 of Vietnam’s upcoming matches will be played at home.

Of course things won’t be easy. Therefore, we hope to receive the support of as many spectators as possible, from the first minute to the end of the match. The Vietnamese team is aware of its responsibility and tries its best.

Of course, setting a goal is one thing, the players also have to strive beyond their ability. Results do not come from setting goals but from performance on the field. In addition to being disciplined and following the rules of the game, being strong in disputes, they also need to be wise and alert in making decisions on the field. That decides a lot. I always aim for precision and the team is also trying their best.”

Coach Shin Tae Yong (Indonesia national team):

“This is a difficult match for both teams, but we have the best preparation for the match tomorrow. The Indonesian team has a chance to win against the Vietnamese team. We will play our best.

We are preparing to show our best football. The situation is a bit difficult with force losses, but I still believe this is the right moment to defeat the Vietnamese team.

Right before the first leg, some of my players showed signs of flu. I don’t know if there is a flu epidemic in Indonesia or in Southeast Asia. Five players got the flu, 1 was suspended and 1 couldn’t recover from injury, so I had to add 3 more players. This is a rare situation.

Two years ago at the SEA Games, my team lost to Vietnam. However, at that time my players were young and inexperienced. I believe at the present time, they are well prepared to cope with this trip to Vietnam.”
