In the opening match, the Vietnamese futsal team met Paraguay's B team and lost 2-3 because the team had not yet adapted well to their biological rhythm after 2 days in South America.
Entering the second friendly match with host Paraguay, coach Diego Giustozzi and his team had better time and gradually adapted to the 11-hour difference in biological rhythm. In this second friendly match, Paraguay fielded their strongest lineup to compete with the away team.
Against the host team, the Vietnamese futsal team (ranked 40th) was behind 4-1 in the first 20 minutes. However, Giustozzi and his team still maintained their fiery fighting spirit and had a very good second half to draw 4-4 against the world's 9th ranked futsal team.
