Indonesian national team and Vietnamese hence the two ASEAN teams that recorded perfect results in FIFA Matchday September 2022.
The Indonesian national team wiped out two friendlies against Curacao on September 24 and 27. The 3-2 and 2-1 wins confirmed that the quality of the Garuda team was improving.
Shin Tae Yong’s cold hands presented an attractive pattern of play in both games. Witan Sulaeman and his friends were able to match Curacao’s game even though they were far adrift in the FIFA rankings.
The goals scored by the Indonesian national team were also produced from a skillful process. This victory gave Indonesia extra points to increase their position in the FIFA rankings.
Vietnam also performed well in FIFA Matchday. The Etoile d’Or invites Singapore and India to the agenda of the FIFA calendar.
The team formed by Park Hang Seo silenced Singapore 4-0 and beat India 3-0. Nguyen Quang Hai and his compatriots record success clean sheets on this FIFA Day.
On the one hand, the good scores recorded by Indonesia and Vietnam were not presented by the other Southeast Asian teams. Bitter pills should be swallowed as they did not give positive results.
In Myanmar, for example, in the two FIFA Matchday matches against Hong Kong, neither match resulted in a win. They lost 0-2 in the first encounter and could only draw 0-0 in the second match.

Similar results were obtained by Singapore. Lion Country lost 0-4 to Vietnam and drew 1-1 against India.
Laos has a worse fate. They lost 1-3 to Maldives and fell 0-1 to Brunei Darussalam. Same with Cambodia which lost 0-1 against Bangladesh.
A rather positive realization actually came from Brunei Darussalam. Despite losing 0-3 to Maldives, Brunei managed to rise and beat Laos 1-0.
Meanwhile, two major ASEAN countries like Thailand and Malaysia are participating in the 2022 Kings Cup tournament hosted by the Football Association of Thailand. The competition invited countries from other confederations such as Trinidad-Tobago and Tajikistan.
However, ASEAN representatives could not win the league title. Tajikistan became champions after beating Malaysia on penalties. Thailand had already been beaten by Malaysia on penalties in the 2022 Kings Cup.
