Chinese team (Red) No. 10 player Kuang Zhaolei is in the game.

It was rainy and rainy that day, and the enthusiasm of nearly 10,000 Chinese fans at the scene remained undiminished. At the beginning, the Chinese team opened fire and the strong offense caught the Vietnamese team off guard. In the 12th minute, the Chinese team No. 10 Kuang Zhaolei changed his direction from the right and made an assist with the cross. No. 11 player Liang Shiyu scored with the opportunity. The Chinese team is getting better and the tacit cooperation is performed again after 4 minutes. The No. 8 player scored 10,000 goals, and the Chinese team led 2-0. Since then, the lagging Vietnam team has accelerated the offensive rhythm and broke through the Chinese team's defense several times to pose a threat. As both sides did not make player rotations in the first half, as the physical strength of both sides declined, the offensive rhythm slowed down, and the Chinese team led 2-0 at the end of the first half.

The change of sides and the situation on the field suddenly changed. Shortly after the opening, the Vietnamese team got a set piece. The football happened to hit the shoulders of the Chinese defensive player and changed the route, making it difficult for the Chinese goalkeeper to react. The Vietnamese team scored 1 point back. In the 60th minute, Li Qifu, the No. 12 player of the Chinese team who was eager to defend, made a dangerous move and was sent off by a red card. The Chinese team was passive in terms of numbers, and the defensive pressure suddenly increased. Since then, the situation on the field has fallen into a stalemate, and both sides hope to seek breakthroughs through large personnel rotation. In the 84th minute, the Vietnamese team No. 20 player near the bottom line on the right side, scored a lucky BUFF full of "fairy ball" to tie the score. Although the Chinese team, which moved from a downwind to a downwind, was at a disadvantage in terms of numbers, they still attacked tenaciously and hoped to change the situation. Finally, with the whistle, the score was tied at 2-2.
