90'+4
The match ended in a 0-0 draw.
90'+3
Van Toan had a chance after Cong Phuong fell down in a collision with the opponent. But the shot from the edge of the 16m50 area by the newly entered HAGL striker was too weak.
90'
The second half has four minutes of injury time.
89'
U23 Korea changed two positions at once.
88'
VAN TIEN'S MISTAKE.
The U23 Vietnam goalkeeper rushed out of the penalty area, but did not clear the ball accurately. The U23 Korea had a very good chance to score, but they handled it slowly. Van Tien himself also retreated very quickly, blocking the opponent's shot. He then leaned forward to narrow the shooting angle, forcing the U23 Korea player to rush in to shoot, only able to send the ball across the face of the goal.
85'
Minh Tung had cramps and could not continue playing. Le Duc Luong of HAGL came in as his replacement.
84'
U23 Vietnam made a substitution. Hong Quan was injured and could not continue playing, so he gave his place to Le Thanh Binh.
83'
Manh Hung's free kick was cleared. He quickly rushed in to volley with his left foot, but the ball went right to the Korean goalkeeper's chosen position.

Huy Toan left the field to make room for another striker, Van Toan, to enter the field.

67'
Hoang Thinh could not continue playing, so Hanoi T&T player Duy Manh was brought in to replace him.

57'
Lee Hyeonil made a series of moves in the 16m50 area, then turned around and shot low very quickly, but the ball missed the target.
56'
OPPORTUNITY.
From a situation similar to the previous missed shot, this time it was Huy Toan's turn to get the ball, turn well and pass it into the 16m50 area to Mac Hong Quan. But this striker seemed startled, couldn't keep up with the ball and missed the opportunity.
53'

Currently, U23 Vietnam has four players who cannot play due to injury: Huy Hung, Thanh Hien, Tan Tai and Hoang Lam. Among them, Huy Hung is the most regrettable absence, as he was considered by Coach Miura to be the center of midfield for both the Vietnam Olympic team at the 17th Asian Games and the Vietnam team at the 2014 AFF Cup. The opportunity to play in this match will most likely be given to Tuan Anh. The midfielder who grew up at the HAGL Arsenal JMG Academy is eager to prove himself after the U23 Asia qualifiers did not meet the requirements.
On the other side of the front line, U23 Korea announced that they came to Hanoi to defeat U23 Vietnam, not for tourism. Team leader Moon Chae-hyun affirmed that coach Shin Tae-yong brought very high-quality students to Vietnam, including three players from clubs playing in the K-League and the whole team will play their best to maintain their reputation.
The style of play that coach Shin Tae-yong built for U23 Korea is very modern. The strategist, who is considered as “Asian Mourinho”, always requires his students to play one-touch football, moving continuously without the ball. Thanks to their good physique, the Korean team can flexibly switch to playing high balls once they are caught.
