Vietnam U17 vs Hong Kong U17: Aiming for 3 points, 7:00 PM
After scoring 20 goals and conceding none in their opening two matches, the Vietnam U17 team will host the Hong Kong (China) U17 team at 7:00 PM on November 26th at the PVF Stadium, broadcast live on VFF Channel.
Two matches, 20 goals scored and not a single goal conceded. That's the foundation for Vietnam U17 to aim for another three points against Hong Kong U17 (China) — an opponent that beat Macau (China) in their opening match and only succumbed to Malaysia U17 after a single goal.

Highlights before kick-off
Over the first two matches, coach Cristiano Roland's team demonstrated a cohesive overall style of play: scoring 20 goals and keeping a clean sheet. In the most recent match against the Northern Mariana Islands, not only the forwards but also the defenders took turns scoring — a testament to their ability to participate in multi-point attacks.
However, the Hong Kong (China) U17 team presents a much-needed challenge. They secured 3 points against Macau (China) and proved to be a difficult opponent, forcing the Malaysia U17 team to work hard to score their only goal. The advantage for the Vietnam U17 team lies in the fact that coach Roland rested key players towards the end of the match on November 24th, optimizing their physical condition for the clash at PVF.
