DEFEAT ENDED COACH TROUSSIER'S ERA

VFF decided to terminate the contract with Mr. Troussier right after the 0-3 loss to Indonesia on the evening of March 26.

From 5:00 p.m. on March 26, a large number of spectators were present at My Dinh Stadium square to cheer on the Vietnamese team.

The fans carried drums, trumpets and banners.

According to the announcement from the Organizing Committee, 32,000 spectators came to the stadium to cheer on the Vietnamese team in the match against the Indonesian team in the 2026 World Cup qualifying round.

The battle of wits took place at My Dinh Stadium between two coaches Troussier and Shin Tae-yong. Previously, Mr. Troussier had lost to his colleague twice at the Asian Cup and most recently at Bung Karno Stadium.

The Vietnamese team started off enthusiastically but quickly conceded a goal in the 9th minute.

Indonesian players have good physical strength and technique, they are not afraid of collision to limit the playing style of the Vietnamese team.

In the first half, the Indonesian team took a 2-0 lead. The goalscorers were Idzes and Ragnar Oratmangoen.

Vietnamese players struggled to fend off attacks from Indonesia.

Vietnam had a situation where it seemed like they had scored a goal when Tien Linh's shot went just wide of the post.

Fans were extremely sad at My Dinh Stadium.

Before the end of the first half, fans were putting pressure to fire coach Troussier.

The rays of hope for an honorary goal did not come to Vietnam.

At the end of the match, the players collapsed on the field. Goalkeeper Nguyen Filip sat there in a daze. He had lost all three matches against Indonesia.
