Vietnam 3-0 Bangladesh Player Ratings: A Clinical Display From Vietnam As Bangladesh Fail To Bag A Win Against The Vietnamese For The Third Time In History

A crazy international friendly just panned out as Vietnam outshone Bangladesh at the Hang Day Stadium in Ha Noi. Bangladesh never looked to be in the game, as Vietnam were the better team for a good chunk of time.

The game started on a bad note for the visitors, as Zayyan Ahmed failed to clear a dangerous ball into the box and found the back of his own net instead to give the Vietnam national football team the lead in the 8th minute.

Just ten minutes later, Pham Xuan Manh scored from a set piece to double the lead for the hosts, sending the away crowd into deep silence. The Bangladesh national team looked to bounce back and even had a couple of shots, but their hard work was undone by a third goal.

In the 38th minute, Nguyen Hai Long made a darting run into the box from the midfield, fought off challenges from two Bangladeshi defenders, and calmly placed the ball in the right-hand bottom corner to make it three in the first half only.

Hamza Choudhury and co. never seemed to come back from that, as their efforts went in vain. Vietnam picked up a strong win ahead of their final match in the AFC Asian Cup Qualifiers, while Bangladesh have a lot to look upon.
