Vietnam were lost 2-0 to Malaysia on April 9, failing to qualify for the final match of the Southeast Asian Futsal tournament, which is taking place in HCM City.

Gargelli confident of Indonesia rematch

Vietnamese players entered the game with a series of attacks with the purposeful aim of dominating the game. They carved out several scoring chances, but failed to hammer home. Their best chance to score goal was wasted in the second half when their close range kick was denied by goalie Devandran Suppramanium.

On the other side, Ruzaley Abd Aziz put Malaysia a head on 38 minutes and Devandran Suppramanium doubled the score in the last minute of the game.

Chief coach Sergio Gargelli admitted that his Vietnamese players performed beyond their capacity, and inexperience and physical durability are their major weaknesses.

The same day, Indonesia trounced the Philippines 4-0 to take on Malaysia in the final game on April 11.
