‘The game situation of shock’ Vietnam turns 2-1 against Japan (33 minutes in the first half)

The Japanese national soccer team suffered a reversal of shock on the 14th (Korean time) at 8:30 p.m. against Vietnam in the first Group D match of the 2023 AFC Asian Cup at Altumama Stadium in Doha, Qatar, after scoring the first goal in the 11th minute of the first half.

The Japanese national team, which has the most Asian Cup championships (four times) and is currently the No. 1 player in FIFA rankings among Asian countries, is considered a strong candidate. Since the match against El Salvador in June last year, the Japanese team has scored 45 goals en masse, and thus has won 10 consecutive A matches.

In Group D, Japan, which is also in the same group as Iraq and Indonesia, will first face Vietnam, which is ranked 94th in the FIFA rankings. Philippe Trusier, who served as coach of the Japanese national team, is leading Vietnam to replace Park Hang-seo, but the team has lost one win and four losses in the recent five matches, which is not good enough.

Japan scored the first goal at the 11th minute of the first half. Junya Ito’s right-footed corner kick from the left side went to the far post, hit by the defense and blocked it, but Takumi Minamino from inside the box shook the Vietnamese net with his right foot, low and strong shot. 토토사이트 순위

However, a surprising thing happened in the 16th minute of the first half. Nguyen Dinh Pak scored an acrobatic back header after a short corner kick curled from her left foot.

Vietnam showed amazing potential by scoring an equalizer in just five minutes right after the loss. Vietnam, which continued to show good performance against Japan afterwards, even created an upset in the 33rd minute of the first half. It sent a free kick from a dust point about 35 meters from the goal post to the goal post, and barely managed to block a header shot from inside the box by 21-year-old mixed-race goalkeeper Suzuki Zaion.

Vietnam’s No. 10 striker Pham Tuan Hai, who had been rushing to the goal, turned the game around with his right foot to the empty goal to make a 2-1 come-from-behind victory over Japan.

Meanwhile, the match is being held by South Korean referees who are referee Kim Jong-hyuk, Yoon Jae-yeol and Park Sang-joon. Vietnam is leading 2-1 until the 37th minute of the first half.
