Vietnam's national team achieved a major victory over Myanmar 4-0 in their opening match of the Southeast Asian tournament.

Vietnam's futsal national team had an ideal start in Group A by defeating Myanmar with a score of 4-0, temporarily moving to the top after the first round.

Against an opponent considered less formidable, the red-shirted squad quickly demonstrated their dominance in the game from the early minutes. Vietnam controlled the ball, continuously pressed forward, and created numerous dangerous situations near Myanmar's goal. However, it was only in the 12th minute that the stalemate was broken. From a smooth pass by Thai Huy, Nhan Gia Hung decisively finished to open the scoring 1-0 for the home team.

With a lead secured, Vietnam's futsal team played with even more confidence and fluidity. Moving into the second half, Coach Diego Giustozzi's team immediately accelerated. Just seconds after the ball rolled, Da Hai effectively utilized Minh Quang's pass to double the lead to 2-0.

Not stopping there, Vietnam continued to maintain high pressure. In the 22nd minute, after Ngoc Anh's long-range shot was blocked by Myanmar's goalkeeper, Da Hai appeared at the right moment to follow up and increase the score to 3-0, completing his own double.

While Myanmar was still struggling to stabilize their game, Vietnam's futsal team added a fourth goal. In the 28th minute, newcomer Nguyen Thac Hieu skillfully handled the ball before unleashing a tricky shot, leaving the opposing goalkeeper no chance to block. This goal also sealed the impressive 4-0 victory for Vietnam's futsal team.

On the other side, Myanmar also had moments of resurgence aiming to find a consolation goal. However, Vietnam's defense maintained necessary focus, while goalkeeper Van Tu made timely saves to preserve the clean sheet.

The convincing victory over Myanmar gave Vietnam's futsal team a perfect start, temporarily occupying the top spot in Group A. This also serves as a crucial morale boost for the entire team heading forward, given the still-packed match schedule.

According to the plan, Vietnam's futsal team will proceed to their second match against Timor-Leste on April 7, before facing Thailand in the final round—a match predicted to significantly impact the competition for the group's top position.

Analysis of Vietnam vs Myanmar futsal: The opening victory

The encounter between Vietnam's futsal national team and Myanmar at 5:30 PM on April 6 holds special significance for Coach Diego Giustozzi and his team. This is not only the opening match of the 2026 Southeast Asian Futsal Championship but also the first test of Vietnam's competitive capability in their journey toward deeper goals, even competing for the championship.

Compared to previous years, the regional futsal landscape has become more balanced as many teams have made significant progress in tactics and gameplay organization. Nevertheless, considering professional foundations, Vietnam's futsal still holds certain advantages due to an experienced core squad and a fairly well-established operational system.

Under the guidance of Coach Giustozzi, Vietnam's futsal team shows a trend toward more proactive play, especially in applying pressure from the opponent's half, controlling match tempo, and organizing plays around the pivot position. Key figures like Ho Van Y, Pham Duc Hoa, and Chau Doan Phat continue to play crucial roles in both defense and transition.

Meanwhile, Myanmar is an opponent with clear progress in tactical discipline. This team often prioritizes a low defensive block, tight defense, then utilizes speed for counterattacks. However, their limitations remain in maintaining intensity and focus throughout the entire match duration.

If they can impose their game style and maintain efficiency in finishing, Vietnam's futsal team can certainly aim for a convincing victory to build momentum before the greater challenges ahead.
