The first futsal match took place on July 3, with the Gia Lai team running out winners against an U15 team from the State of Selangor in Malaysia with an overpowering victory 5-3.
However, in the second match taking place on July 4, Vietnam lost 1-4 against a stronger Malaysian U15 team, even though throughout the match the Vietnamese players battled hard.
