The attack shines, U22 Vietnam continues its winning streak against U22 Philippines

(Baonghean.vn) - Against U22 Philippines, Coach Huu Thang made many changes to the starting lineup compared to the victory against U22 Cambodia. However, U22 Vietnam still had a good match.

With Xuan Truong and Van Hau suspended, Dong Trieu and Van Kien were given the chance to start. Players Van Khanh, midfielder Tuan Anh, Hong Duy and striker Tuan Tai were also on the field from the start.

The first minutes of the match were quite balanced. On the U22 Vietnam side, midfielder Tuan Anh showed his ability to control the ball quite well. The first dangerous opportunity belonged to U22 Vietnam from a good cross by Hong Duy, beyond the reach of the Philippine goalkeeper. Unfortunately, Van Toan's header was inaccurate.

After missed opportunities by Tuan Tai and Van Thanh, the goal came to U22 Vietnam from Cong Phuong's individual effort in the 38th minute. The Nghe An striker had a solo run from the right wing and unexpectedly finished decisively in a narrow angle. The score was 1-0 for U22 Vietnam.

Immediately after this situation, U22 Philippines had an answer. In the 42nd minute, midfielder Belgira had a very technical dribble on the left wing, passing 2 U22 Vietnam players. Fortunately, this player's subsequent cross did not reach his teammates inside.

Before the break, U22 Vietnam had another goal from Van Thanh. From a pass back from Cong Phuong, the HAGL defender skillfully handled the ball past a U22 Philippines defender before unleashing a tricky shot into the near corner. The first half ended with a score of 2-0 for Huu Thang's team.

Five minutes into the second half, U22 Vietnam continued to widen the gap to 3-0. This time, Tuan Anh was the one who created the goal for Van Toan. When the gap was safe, coach Huu Thang took the mainstay Cong Phuong off and replaced him with new player Thanh Binh.

In the remaining minutes, U22 Vietnam still completely controlled the match. Van Thanh and the player who came on the field Quang Hai as well as Ho Tuan Tai all had chances. After a series of missed situations, striker Ho Tuan Tai finally scored his second goal at SEA Games 29, right in the 89th minute. A goal from the good coordination on the right wing of U22 Vietnam. And 4-0 was also the final result of the match.

Getting 9 full points after the first 3 matches is a result that could not be better for U22 Vietnam. The goal has been completed, however, ahead are 2 difficult matches with Indonesia and Thailand.
