The Indian football team suffered a 0-3 defeat by hosts Vietnam in the Hung Thinh Friendly Tournament on Tuesday. 

The Blue Tigers, who were seeking redemption against Vietnam after their draw against Singapore earlier, failed to challenge the home side.

In their previous game, they were held to a 1-1 draw by Singapore (Rank 159), who are ranked 55 places lower than the Indian team in the 104th spot in FIFA rankings.

Vietnam opened the scoring with Phan Van Duc who slotted home in the 10th minute. The visitors came close on some occasions courtesy of forwards Ashique Kuruniyan and Sunil Chhetri but couldn't put the ball in the back of the net. The home team scored two goals in the second half to complete the rout.

Team India are without a win since their 4-0 victory against Hong Kong back in June and will be disappointed by their performance during the international break.

With Igor Stimac's job under scanner regarding the team's form, India need some results to go their way before the crucial AFC Asian Cup next year.
