Vietnam remained in control after the break. In the 21st minute, Thinh Phat turned and finished clinically from a pass by Chau Doan Phat to make it 3-0.
Australia attempted a power play in the closing stages but failed to penetrate Vietnam’s organised defence. Goalkeeper Pham Van Tu delivered a standout performance with several crucial saves.
