As a result, the two teams were tied after 2 regular matches and the Jordan U23 team won 4-3 in the 11m penalty shootout.
Evaluating after the match, coach Hoang Anh Tuan said: “Today’s match with U23 Jordan was very useful, U23 Vietnam played with 2 different formations, 1 formation in each half. Overall, things did not go as planned, but I saw that the players performed quite well, with very optimistic signs.
Playing with two different teams, the quality of U23 Vietnam's performance in the two halves did not change at all. U23 Vietnam even had a chance to score. When it came to the penalty shootout, that was also the goal we set before this match took place. This was a form of training to prepare for the tournament. In the penalty shootout, U23 Vietnam lost. But overall, the draw was deserved for both teams."
"U23 Vietnam still has 6 more days to prepare for the first match with U23 Kuwait. Overall, the players performed well in terms of ability and skills, although the tactics were not perfect, but there were signs of optimism. We are confident that the players played in this match, the players played until the last minute without any change in quality and intensity on the field," said coach Hoang Anh Tuan.
