Director Park Hang-seo (65)’s last dance was canceled unfortunately.
Vietnam, led by coach Park Hang-seo, lost 0-1 in the second leg of the final round of the 2022 ASEAN Football Federation (AFF) Mitsubishi Electric Cup against Thailand held at Thammasat Stadium in Pathum Thani, Thailand on the 16th (Korean time). Vietnam, which drew 2-2 in the first leg held in Hanoi, Vietnam on the 13th, remained runner-up with a total score of 2-3 in the first and second leg.
After this tournament, coach Park’s last dance, which will step down from the Vietnamese command tower, has been cancelled. However, he reaped the precious beauty of being the runner-up.
At the beginning of the match, both teams played carefully. Vietnam set up a back-five defense line and put more weight on defense than attack. Thailand was more aggressive than Vietnam.
It was Thailand that broke the tense flow. Tiraton Boonmaton, who was coach Park Hang-seo’s first priority, scored the first goal. In the 25th minute of the first half, Cryson gave a pass to Bunmaton, who was rushing behind the arc circle. Boonmaton connected it with a right-footed mid-range shot and shook the net. 안전놀이터
Vietnam faced off with several shots, but failed to create any chances. After conceding a goal, he was shaken by Thailand’s offensive and gave up the initiative. The first half ended with the score trailing 0-1.
As Vietnam entered the second half, it raised its line and went aggressive. In the 13th minute of the second half, Nguyen Hoang Duc hit a surprise mid-range shot from behind the arc circle, but narrowly missed the left side of the goal.
Vietnam launched a more aggressive attack than in the first half, but failed to create a chance to do so. Thailand, who entered the ‘lock’, played the game with a defense-oriented mindset.
Nguyen Tien Linh in the 35th minute of the second half, Doan Van Hau in the 39th minute of the second half, and Quang Hai in the extra time shot in succession, but did not lead to a goal. The match ended in a 0-1 victory for Thailand.
