The national team managed to turn its delay into a deserved 3-1 victory over its Vietnamese counterpart yesterday evening at the Sultan Qaboos Sports Complex in Baushe; qualifying for the Qatar 2022 World Cup in the second group in the fourth round of the final Asian qualifiers, raising the national team’s tally to 6 points and advancing to third place.
With the good crowd attendance, the Football Association allocated the proceeds of this match to contribute to the relief of the governorates of South and North Al Batinah after the damage caused by Cyclone Shaheen.
Despite the advantage of the Vietnam team for scoring a goal in the 42nd minute, our national team imposed a draw through Issam Al-Sabhi in the 46th minute at the end of the first half. A penalty that deserved the second victory in the qualifiers after the first victory over Japan and two losses from Saudi Arabia and Australia, to return to the circle of competition again at the group level.
