U23 Vietnam poured "rain of goals" into the net of U23 Laos

(Baonghean.vn)-After the unfortunate loss to U23 Singapore, on the evening of December 15, coach Hoang Van Phuc and his team had a "correction" match against U23 Laos with a "5-star" victory, thereby continuing to nurture the hope of reaching the semi-finals.

Before the match between U23 Vietnam and U23 Laos, the two teams in the same group A, U23 Singapore and U23 Malaysia, drew 1-1. To win a ticket to the next round, coach Hoang Van Phuc and his team must win both remaining matches against U23 Laos and U23 Malaysia.

With that mentality, Coach Hoang Van Phuc made some personnel changes in this match. To create strength for the attack, “Ronaldo”-Phi Son was put on the field right in the starting lineup.

Right after the opening whistle, the U23 Vietnam players rushed onto the field of the players from the Land of a Million Elephants.

The continuous attacks by U23 Vietnam created a terrible pressure on the U23 Laos goal. In the 15th minute, Minh Tuan had a beautiful shot but the ball hit goalkeeper Somvanh's hand and bounced off the crossbar.

Just after 3 minutes, it was captain Van Quyet's turn to score, raising the score to 2-0 for U23 Vietnam after dribbling past the U23 Laos defenders.

Conceding two quick goals, the U23 Laos players were nervous and lost control of the game. Occasionally, U23 Laos could launch a few weak attacks, which did not cause much trouble for the U23 Vietnam defense.

With 2 goals as capital, entering the second half, U23 Vietnam proactively played slowly, U23 Laos rose up to find an equalizer but their attack line showed a lack of sharpness so all attacks were stopped by U23 Vietnam's defense.

While U23 Laos had not yet found an equalizer, in the 75th minute, from a counter-attack, Van Quyet broke the offside trap and headed the ball beautifully, raising the score to 3-0 for U23 Vietnam.

Conceding the third goal, U23 Laos fell apart. In the 78th minute, from a corner kick, Minh Tuan fired a shot that hit the Lao defender's leg, the ball changed direction and flew into the net. U23 Vietnam scored the fourth goal in this match.

In the 88th minute, striker Mac Hong Quan, who had just entered the field, was able to put his name on the scoreboard with the goal that sealed the 5-0 victory.

Unfortunately for U23 Vietnam, in the game of "splitting bamboo" victory, player Ngoc Duc had an unnecessary tackle on Souksavanh and was sent off by the referee when the match was entering the final minutes.
