Scoring U23 Vietnam - U23 Indonesia: Disappointment for Tien Dung - Duc Chinh
(Baonghean.vn) - Despite winning against Indonesia, this was a match in which U23 Vietnam failed to demonstrate their collective play. Most of the attacks lacked the clarity and precision to surprise the defense of U23 Indonesia.
Goalkeeper Bui Tien Dung did not have to work too much in this match, but he almost gave U23 Indonesia a goal when he passed the ball to striker Marinus. He also showed that he did not have a really solid grip on the ball in many situations.
As the captain, Quang Hai was expected to make a difference for the U23 Vietnam attack. However, in the match, with the U23 Indonesia defenders closely watching him, the young talent of Hanoi could not play his role as conductor. In addition to many inaccurate passes, Quang Hai also missed a number of opportunities from free kicks outside the penalty area.

Quang Hai's only shining moment in this match was the corner kick that helped Trieu Viet Hung score a valuable goal in the 4th minute of extra time. Meanwhile, striker Duc Chinh was almost lost between the 2 central defenders of U23 Indonesia. The striker of U23 Vietnam did not do his job well and did not receive much support from his teammates behind.
In the midfield, Thai Quy could not show his ability to compete, so he was taken off the field by coach Park Hang-seo in the first half. In defense, Tien Dung had many unsafe moves. These were the 3 most lackluster players of U23 Vietnam in this match.
The most outstanding player of U23 Vietnam in attack is Nguyen Hoang Duc. In addition to good tactical thinking, Viettel midfielder also created some breakthrough plays. Boldly dribbling, confident in shooting, unfortunately he could not show his charm in front of U23 Indonesia's goal.
However, the player who deserves the highest score of U23 Vietnam is Trieu Viet Hung. Although he did not play very well for most of the match, the young talent of HAGL did what fans expected with a header to score the only goal for U23 Vietnam.
In addition to this valuable goal, Viet Hung also completed his task well in the midfield with many interceptions, preventing U23 Indonesia from using their counter-attacking tactics. As usual, center-back Dinh Trong still played solidly and calmly, ensuring maximum safety for Bui Tien Dung's goal.
Coach Park blames himself after U23 Vietnam's victory
(Baonghean.vn) - Sharing at the press conference after the 1-0 victory over U23 Indonesia, Coach Park Hang-seo said that U23 Vietnam was lucky to have 3 points in the second match of Group K of the U23 Asian qualifiers. The Korean coach unexpectedly admitted his own fault.
