Indian men’s football team surrender to an in-form Vietnam side 0-3 in their Hung Thinh football friendly at the Thong Nhat Stadium in Ho Chi Minh City on Tuesday.
Vietnam’s Phan Van Duc (10’) scored an early goal for the hosts before Van Toan Nguyen (49’) and Van Quyet Nguyen (71’) netted in the second half to help their team win the friendly Hung Thinh football tournament.
