Vietnam defeat Myanmar, set up ASEAN football semifinal against Indonesia

Hình ảnh
Before the game started, both teams spent a moment of silence in memory of Brazilian football legend Pele, who passed away last week. Vietnam looked poised for the last four with an early goal just eight minutes into the game. Nguyen Van Quyet conjured up a brilliant assist for Pham Tuan Hai to tap in, but before Hai could touch the ball, Zin Lwin scored an own goal. Vietnam’s goalkeeper Dang Van Lam and defense line almost brought the match back to the start by making grave mistakes in just a few minutes with wrong positioning and careless passes. However, the Myanmar players failed to convert those chances. The hosts doubled the lead in the 27th minute when Myanmar keeper Tun Nanda Oo could not catch the ball cleanly from Doan Van Hau’s cross, leaving Nguyen Tien Linh with an easy job.

Hình ảnh
The first session of the Four-Party Conference on Vietnam on January 18, 1969 in Paris. Photo: VNA The first lesson lies with the Party’s sound leadership, which opened up the diplomatic front and carried forward strengths of the diplomatic sector, in combination with political and military fronts and the “fight and talk” strategy, creating common strength to win the victory. The second was persistently pursuing the foreign policy of independence and self-reliance, for the sake of the nation; properly applying President Ho Chi Minh’s diplomatic motto of “Di bat bien, ung van bien” (“Keeping calm is to cope with multi-unexpected changes”), creating opportunities, forcing the enemy to join negotiations, proactively conducting diplomatic attacks and ending negotiations when conditions are right; harmoniously handling relations with major countries, and at the same time utilizing the widespread international support for the struggle to make the Paris Conference a victory.
