Facing a weaker opponent, U21 SLNA did not hide their ambition to win all 3 points from the beginning. Therefore, the yellow team continuously pressed U21 Ben Tre. Many opportunities were created by coach Quang Truong's students, but SLNA only scored 1 goal, thereby winning the first match of the national U21 qualifying round. The goal of the Nghe team came in the 25th minute. U23 player Nguyen Van Viet received the ball on the left wing and passed it back inside for midfielder Tran Quoc Thanh to tap the ball into the goal to open the score. During the remaining 2 halves, U21 Nghe An pressed the field but no goals were scored.
In this match, the two U23 Vietnam players, Mai Sy Hoang and Nguyen Van Viet, played quite well. While Mai Sy Hoang was arranged by the coaching staff to play in his favorite position as a left-back, Nguyen Van Viet was pushed up to play as a striker. The one who left an impression throughout the match was the young talent Dinh Xuan Tien. The player born in 2003 played the role of conductor of the yellow shirt team's midfield. He had no less than two beautiful through balls that opened up opportunities for his teammates to score, but unfortunately, U21 SLNA was unlucky and let the goal slip away.
Another player who also played quite well was right winger Tran Quoc Thanh. He played aggressively, often penetrating the central area, causing trouble for the opponent's goal. And he was the player who scored the only goal, bringing victory to U21 SLNA.
With this victory, SLNA has earned the first 3 points in Group C. Coach Quang Truong's students will have their second match on December 4 against U21 Quang Nam./.
