Viet Nam entered the semi-final round of the ASEAN Football Federation Futsal Championship following their third win in Malaysia yesterday.

Viet Nam blasted Laos, 18-0, to make the final four following a 6-1 win over Myanmar and an 11-1 victory against the Philippines.

Phung Trong Luan began with a brace in the second and 10th minutes, followed by three hattricks from Tran Thai Huy, Tran Long Vu and Pham Duc Hoa.

Ly Khanh Hung and Ngo Ngoc Son had their doubles while the other goals came from Tran Van Vu, Le Quoc Nam and Pham Thanh Dat.

Viet Nam will next play Thailand in the last group B round match at the Melawati Stadium today.

For the first 10 minutes of their match against the Philippines, Viet Nam found it tough. But Phung Trong Luan weaved his way through the middle and slammed in the goal that put Viet Nam ahead in the 10th minute.

Four minutes later, Tran Thai Huy knocked in the second goal to give Viet Nam a 2-0 lead at the break.

Viet Nam exploded in the second half, netting another nine goals against a single goal by Filipino Robert Omblero Canedo. In the last minute, Jovanie Saludares Simpron converted on a penalty for the Philippines.
