The Chinese team attacked aggressively after the start Although it was slightly inferior to its opponents in terms of ball possession rate, it still had 11 shooting opportunities in the first half, while the Vietnamese team only had 5 shots on goal. In the 12th minute, the Vietnamese team took advantage of a penalty kick and scored a goal. In the second half of the game, the Chinese team failed to seize many opportunities With a long shot hitting the crossbar 30 seconds before the end, the Chinese team had to accept the defeat in the end.
After the match, Li Xin, the head coach of the Chinese team, said that the Chinese team was a little lacking in the ability to take advantage of some opportunities, including one-on-one goals, which led to the failure to recover the loss.

As the Chinese team lost to the host team Thailand 1:3 in the first round, the Vietnamese team and the Myanmar team were in the same group tied with one point each. Regardless of the result of the match between Thailand and Myanmar in the second round, the Chinese team, who have no points from two matches, are unlikely to be among the top two in the group and will be eliminated early.
A total of 16 teams will take part in this competition, and the top four teams will qualify for the Futsal World Cup which will be held in Uzbekistan between September 14 and October 6.
