The Vietnamese national soccer team (95th in FIFA rankings), led by head coach Philip Trussier, held a friendly match with Jurgen Klinsmann's South Korea (26th) at Suwon World Cup Stadium on the evening of the 17th, losing 0-6.

Five minutes into the first half, Kim Min-jae scored with his shoulder in a corner kick chance. Kim Min-jae flew exactly when he saw Lee Kang-in's kick. He tried to put the ball on his head, but it hit his shoulder and the ball was sucked into the net.
