What is special about U23 Vietnam's Olympic opponent Mongolia at ASIAD 2023?

The core force of Mongolian Olympic team participating in ASIAD 2023 is the players who just participated in the 2024 U23 Asian qualifiers. At this playground, U23 Mongolia drew U23 Lebanon with a score of 1-1 after having a goal to take the lead, lost to U23 Saudi Arabia with a score of 1-3 and lost to U23 Cambodia with a score of 1-2.

It can be seen that these are not too bad results when knowing that U23 Lebanon is a fairly average team in Asia, comparable to U23 Vietnam while U23 Saudi Arabia is a strong team in the continent. In this defeat, U23 Mongolia made an impression when Uuganbat took the lead from the 11m mark. These not-so-bad performances of U23 Mongolia (compared to themselves) are expected by the audience of this team to create great motivation to be able to make a surprise at the upcoming ASIAD 2023.
