Scoring U23 Vietnam – U23 Timor Leste: Outstanding attack

(Baonghean.vn) – Facing a somewhat inferior U23 Timor Leste team, the midfielders and strikers of U23 Vietnam had a quite successful match.

Goalkeeper: Bui Tien Dung (6.5 points)

In his first time playing for U23 Vietnam, goalkeeper Tien Dung did not have many opportunities to show his ability. However, this goalkeeper still showed confidence in goal. In the first minutes of the match, the Timor Leste player's shot was only lucky to prevent Tien Dung from having to pick the ball out of the net because the ball found a puddle right on the goal line.

Right back: Vu Van Thanh (7 points)

Although he did not play in his preferred position as a left-back, Van Thanh still had a stable performance. In the first half, his right wing was constantly exploited by the opponent, but when the pitch became better, the HAGL player showed his sharpness in attacking moves. In the 28th minute, Van Thanh almost created a goal after a combination with Van Toan.

Center back: Hoang Van Khanh - Bui Tien Dung (7 points)

Throughout the match, SLNA's central defender had a few indecisive moves. However, on the offensive side, Van Khanh had two dangerous headers in the 44th and 63rd minutes. Overall, Van Khanh still proved that he is the most experienced central defender in defense and quite dangerous in high-up phases.

In the first few minutes, Tien Dung, as captain, did not really play calmly and confidently. A typical example was the ball being passed by the opponent in the 6th minute. However, with the effective support of Van Khanh, Tien Dung also had a successful day of play and also created a few dangerous situations in front of the U23 Timor Leste goal.

Left back: Doan Van Hau (7 points)

With a height of 1m82, Van Hau plays quite firmly and creates the necessary muscle for the U23 Vietnam defense. On the left wing, the Timor Leste attack was almost neutralized by the concentration of the U23 Vietnam defenders.

Right midfielder: Nguyen Van Toan (6 points)

The HAGL striker encountered certain difficulties on the water-filled pitch. After 40 minutes on the pitch to replace Lam Ti Phong, Van Toan's most memorable mark was the assist for Van Thanh in the 28th minute. Overall, this was an unsuccessful match for him.

Central midfielder: Nguyen Tuan Anh (7.5 points)

The rain and bad pitch greatly affected midfielder Tuan Anh's technical playing style. However, he, along with Cong Phuong and Duy Manh, created an attacking triangle with superior ball control in the second half. The HAGL player also contributed a beautiful goal with a decisive long-range shot in the 87th minute.

Central midfielder: Do Duy Manh (7 points)

With Tuan Anh and Cong Phuong up front, Duy Manh took on the task of recovering the ball and intercepting from a distance for U23 Vietnam. This player contributed to helping the U23 Vietnam midfield have muscle and strong challenges. The Hanoi FC player did a very good job of covering for his teammates.

Left midfielder: Nguyen Phong Hong Duy (6 points) – Nguyen Quang Hai (8 points)

Arranged by coach Huu Thang to play in the left wing position, however, Hong Duy has not shown much. The person who can play well in Hong Duy's position is Quang Hai, a player with extremely skillful techniques, sensitive to the ball and is a powerful passer at U23 Vietnam at the moment. In the last minute of the match, Quang Hai also had 2 extremely dangerous finishing situations towards the U23 Timor Leste goal. It can be said that since Quang Hai entered the field, it has created a new atmosphere for U23 Vietnam, and strikers like Cong Phuong also have more options.

Forward: Nguyen Cong Phuong (8 points)

If U23 Vietnam's opponent was not Timor Leste, who was too weak, Cong Phuong's performance would have been tested more accurately. However, Cong Phuong's 2 goals were enough to help him relieve the pressure he had been under all this time. If in the first goal in the 67th minute, Cong Phuong made a decisive long-range shot, the second goal came from a penalty kick. Both had the mark and effective support of Quang Hai.

Forward: Ha Duc Chinh (7 points)

Playing as a striker, Ha Duc Chinh scored a goal that showed his quickness and ability to seize opportunities. This goal helped U23 Vietnam play confidently from the first minutes. However, against a U23 Timor Leste team that did not play very well, Duc Chinh still did not know how to create opportunities for himself.
