The Vietnamese team played two friendly matches in October against China and Uzbekistan. The team in red lost both matches with the same score of 0-2.

However, the defeat against China only caused the Vietnamese team to lose 4.48 points. Meanwhile, the match against Uzbekistan was a closed friendly match, not counting FIFA points.
Notably, despite being deducted points, coach Troussier's team still rose 1 place in the FIFA rankings (to 94th).
The reason is that during this FIFA Days, the team ranked above Vietnam, Armenia, was deducted 16.32 points after an unbelievable defeat against weak opponent Latvia.
This defeat caused Armenia to drop 4 places to 95th in the world with 1238.15 points, while the "Golden Star Warriors" had 1238.66 points.
But most likely, Hoang Duc and his teammates will find it difficult to keep their current positions because on October 17, we will face the Korean team.
According to calculations, if we defeat the Korean team, Coach Troussier and his team will be awarded 7.6 points. On the contrary, if we lose, we will be deducted 2.4 points.
As for Armenia, they also have a very difficult match when facing the world's 66th ranked team, North Macedonia.
Returning to the Vietnamese team, coach Troussier's students just had a disappointing match against Uzbekistan.
In the match at Dalian Stadium on October 10, the red team did not have any shots on target and had less than 30% possession of the ball.
