Highlights of U23 Vietnam's victory over U23 Malaysia
(Baonghean.vn) - It was not a very excellent match for coach Hoang Anh Tuan's students, but the brilliance of the individuals brought a 2-0 victory for U23 Vietnam.
Early ticket for U23 Vietnam
U23 Vietnam had a difficult start against U23 Malaysia who played with great determination. The opposing team played quickly and closely to limit the passing situations of coach Hoang Anh Tuan's players. In the first half, there were many situations where our young players lost the ball and passed it to the wrong address. Fortunately, U23 Vietnam did not have to pay the price for those mistakes.
However, the shining moments of Khuat Van Khang and Bui Vi Hao helped U23 Vietnam to a 2-0 victory over U23 Malaysia. With this victory, U23 Vietnam got 6 points and secured a ticket to the quarter-finals in Group D.
This victory also helped U23 Vietnam extend its winning streak against U23 Malaysia, thereby gradually reaffirming the position of Vietnamese football in Southeast Asia after a series of unsuccessful matches under coach Philippe Troussier at the national team level.
Moments of inspiration
In a deadlocked match, Khuat Van Khang's moment of genius helped U23 Vietnam score the opening goal. The perfect free kick from 25m away by The Cong Viettel player completely defeated goalkeeper Azim Al Amin of U23 Malaysia.
Not only did Khuat Van Khang score the opening goal, he also worked tirelessly on the left wing. It can be said that Khuat Van Khang was one of the best players of U23 Vietnam in this match.
Another player who played equally well was goalkeeper Quang Van Chuan. The captain of U23 Vietnam had a match where he came in and out well to block the opposing team's attacks. The highlight was Quang Van Chuan's brilliant save in the 90th minute, helping U23 Vietnam keep a clean sheet, thereby preserving the 2-0 victory.
Along with Van Chuan and Khuat Van Khang, we must also praise central defender Le Nguyen Hoang. The young player of Song Lam Nghe An is the most stable central defender of U23 Vietnam in the past 2 matches. Le Nguyen Hoang's precise interventions contributed significantly to the home team's past 2 victories.
Hopefully, in the next match, Quang Van Chuan and his teammates will play better to get a favorable result against U23 Uzbekistan.
Coach Hoang Anh Tuan has been successful.
It can be affirmed that coach Hoang Anh Tuan has successfully led U23 Vietnam in this year's tournament. By winning 2 consecutive victories and early reaching the quarter-finals, U23 Vietnam has completed the assigned task in this tournament.
To achieve this achievement, we cannot fail to mention the contribution of coach Hoang Anh Tuan. This 56-year-old coach has provided reasonable tactics for U23 Vietnam, and at the same time made flexible adjustments in the matches to help the home team have a good position against the opponents.
In the last match, the introduction of Bui Vi Hao and Hong Phuc into the field at the beginning of the second half was very effective. Bui Vi Hao was the player who brought about the penalty, which allowed Vo Hoang Minh Khoa to increase the score to 2-0. Meanwhile, Hong Phuc helped strengthen the right wing of U23 Vietnam after being constantly disturbed in the first half.
More importantly, with these victories, coach Hoang Anh Tuan has helped Vietnamese fans "feel proud" after a long series of humiliating days.
Hopefully, in the upcoming match, this 56-year-old coach will have reasonable tactics to help U23 Vietnam repay the debt they owed to U23 Uzbekistan in Changzhou 2018./.
