U19 Vietnam empty-handed; U19 Indonesia “dreams” of World Cup

Despite playing impressively in the final match against U19 Korea, a series of unnecessary mistakes caused coach Hoang Anh Tuan and his team to accept a 1-3 defeat.

Throughout the 90 minutes, U19 Vietnam played on par with their opponents, with many situations causing trouble for the goal of the Korean team. However, 3 penalty situations extinguished the hope of the red team to gain points. Despite losing, U19 Vietnam showed great effort in the farewell match of the 2018 U19 Asian Cup.

Thailand's youth are full of opportunities to attend the U20 World Cup.

In contrast to the poor performance of U19 Vietnam, the two neighboring teams U19 Indonesia and U19 Thailand both passed the group stage. The opportunity to win tickets to the 2019 U20 World Cup in Poland is wide open for the two Southeast Asian teams.

In Group B and Group C, U19 Japan and U19 Korea showed their dominance. In Group A, there were 3 teams with 6 points and U19 UAE accepted to leave the game due to inferior sub-index.

At 7:00 p.m. today (October 26), the last two matches in Group D will determine the last ticket to the Quarterfinals of the U19 Asian Cup. While U19 Saudi Arabia has secured a place in the next round, the remaining ticket will be the competition between U19 Malaysia and U19 Tajikistan.

U19 Vietnam lost all 3 matches, minus 4 points.

Two matches in Group D at 7:00 p.m. on October 26 will determine the quarter-final pairs.
