Scenario for U23 Vietnam to pass the qualifying round
The 2022 AFC U23 Championship qualifiers have 11 groups. The regulations stipulate that the 11 group winners and 4 second-placed teams with good results will qualify for the next round. In the second-place rankings, U23 Bahrain (3 points, goal difference +3) and U23 Iran (3 points, goal difference +2) are sharing the top two positions despite having only played one match.
U23 Vietnam currently has 3 points, with a goal difference of +1 after the victory over Taiwan. With Myanmar in front, the possibility of U23 Vietnam getting enough points and having a goal difference good enough to compete in the second group of the table is not high. Defeating Myanmar and topping the table is therefore the safest path for coach Park Hang-seo and his team.

U23 Myanmar will meet Taiwan on October 30. There are three possibilities.
In the second case, if Myanmar wins 1-0 against Taiwan, U23 Vietnam and Myanmar will have the same points and goal difference. The winner of the next match will advance. The direct match between U23 Vietnam and Myanmar will have to have a winner and a loser and may need a penalty shootout to determine the result.
In the third case, if Myanmar wins Taiwan 2-1 or with a more favorable score, they only need to not lose to Vietnam to qualify.
In summary, the hard-fought victory over Taiwan means that U23 Vietnam no longer has much advantage in both the confrontation with Myanmar and in the battle for the second-placed teams. Defeating Myanmar in the match on November 2 is therefore the safest choice for Hai Long and his teammates.
