From the following corner, Phan Van Duc put in a brilliant volley to score the first goal for Vietnam in the 10th minute after a rebound from the clearance of the initial corner kick. Despite the lead, Vietnam did not sit back, looking to score their second goal of the night. The Indian players also carved out several scoring chances, but they tried in vain. After the break, coach Park Hang Seo made several substitutions in both offensive and defensive lines.
