VN, Singapore tie again in friendly

(VNA) - Vietnam tied with Singapore in a goal-free friendly
match under rain at Hanoi 's My Dinh National Stadium on October 14.

It was an important game for both sides, who are training hard in
preparation for the Southeast Asian Football Championship in December.

Although both coaches told a press conference on Monday that they would
play in attack, little happened. The rain, which started after the first 15
minutes, probably contributed to this.

Vietnamese players tried to set up domination of Singapore , one of
their most difficult rivals. However, they failed.

Vietnam 's best player of the year, Le Cong Vinh, had some chances to
change the situation as he received balls near the penalty box. The slippery
field made his kicks inaccurate.

Singapore also had a chance to score a goal. However, the team which
has imported several foreigners, also missed.

It was the tenth time the two rivals have faced each other and the fourth
time they had a drawn result. In other matches, Vietnam won four and
lost two.
The two sides will meet again next month in a return match in
Singapore.-Enditem
