After a cautious first half, the two teams ended the first 45 minutes with a series of missed opportunities. At the beginning of the second half, Bui Tien Dung (goalkeeper & center back) replaced Van Hoang & Hung Dung. Then, Duc Huy replaced Van Hau. However, when the U23 Vietnam squad was still unstable, goalkeeper Tien Dung had to go into the net to pick up the ball.

In the 66th minute, U23 Uzbekistan cut off an attack from the home team before counter-attacking quickly on the right wing. Kakhramonov received the ball right in front of the goal and volleyed the ball against the post, but Nurillo was there in time to score the rebound in an open position to defeat Tien Dung.

A few minutes after Ha Duc Chinh replaced Quang Hai and Van Duc entered the field, U23 Vietnam equalized.

In the 80th minute, U23 Vietnam deployed on the left wing and Duc Huy had a long pass with a very good landing point in the penalty area. Phan Van Duc tricked the opponent's central defender into moving unexpectedly from behind, controlled the pass well with his left foot before finishing into the top corner, defeating goalkeeper Dilshod.
