Narrowly losing 2-3 to Indonesia, Vietnam's futsal team is eliminated in the Asian Championship quarterfinals.

Vietnam's futsal squad lost 2-3 to the host nation Indonesia in the Asian futsal quarterfinals, marking their official exit from the competition.

Vietnam's futsal team failed to secure a semifinal spot after losing 2-3 to Indonesia, in a match where the hosts dominated the first half, and the red-shirted players paid the price for wasting many chances.

Indonesia started aggressively and controlled the game from the early minutes. Their high pressing and quick ball movement constantly pressured Vietnam's goal. The opening goal came early at the 4th minute from a well-executed free kick. Shortly after, Indonesia capitalized on the opponent's mistake to double the lead, ending the first half with a clear advantage.

Meanwhile, Vietnam had plenty of chances but were inefficient in finishing. Chau Doan Phat and his teammates had several notable one-on-one opportunities but failed to beat goalkeeper Habibie, leaving the red team trailing.

In the second half, Vietnam improved, regained control, and increased their attacking tempo. At the 25th minute, Da Hai scored to reduce the deficit after a smooth combination with Chau Doan Phat. Although Indonesia quickly restored the two-goal lead, the red team did not give up. Da Hai shined again with a close-angle shot, completing a brace and bringing the match back to balance.

In the final minutes, Vietnam took a risk by playing power play to seek an equalizer. However, Indonesia's solid defense held firm, preserving their 3-2 victory and advancing to the semifinals. For Vietnam, Da Hai's brace was a rare highlight in a day marked by a heartbreaking exit.

Preview of Vietnam vs Indonesia futsal: A must-win game

Vietnam's futsal team enters the quarterfinals after an impressive group stage performance. In the first match, they staged a dramatic 5-4 comeback against Kuwait, then defeated Lebanon 2-0.

Despite praising Indonesia, Vietnam’s futsal head coach remains optimistic. According to Coach Diego Giustozzi, the key factor lies in the ability to relieve pressure and maintain their own playing style. Currently, he is very satisfied with both individual form and the team's collective play.
