In the final match of the Four Nations tournament held in Qatar, U19 Vietnam suffered a 2-1 defeat to U19 Uruguay despite leading 1-0.

U19 Uruguay is of course the team that is rated higher because they have previously won against U19 Ivory Coast and U19 Qatar. Before U19 Vietnam, the South American team also controlled the game after the opening whistle.

Although U19 Vietnam played defensively, they were always ready to launch sharp counter-attacks. One of them led to a goal in the 44th minute for coach Hoang Anh Tuan and his team.

In the second half, U19 Uruguay attacked fiercely to find an equalizer. The South American team's efforts were rewarded when they scored 2 goals in just 10 minutes. The equalizer came in the 68th minute and in the 77th minute, U19 Uruguay scored the winning goal to make it 2-1.

Thus, U19 Vietnam finished the tournament in 3rd place out of 4 teams after only having 3 points, ranked above U19 Ivory Coast thanks to goal difference. Ranked above U19 Vietnam are U19 Qatar and U19 Uruguay respectively.

Regarding U19 Vietnam, Coach Hoang Anh Tuan does not place much importance on the result. He said: "Winning or losing is not important because U19 Vietnam is in the preparation stage for the U19 Asian Cup. We need to understand that, playing against a high-quality team like U19 Uruguay, we will certainly reap many benefits."

After this tournament, U19 Vietnam will return home to complete pre-tournament training, before going to Indonesia to attend the U19 Asian Finals in October.
