U23 Vietnam easily defeated U23 Myanmar on a rainy night in Viet Tri

Entering the match, the new coach of U23 Vietnam, Mr. Kim Han Yoon, deployed the squad with the trio Trong Hung - Hoang Duc - Tien Linh leading the scoring responsibility in the attack. This helped U23 Vietnam create significant pressure in the early stages of the match. In the 14th minute, from a corner kick on the right wing, Trieu Viet Hung cut in quickly, finished through the forest of players of both teams, opening the score of the match.

The lead helped U23 Vietnam gain a mental advantage and create a series of dangerous opportunities, however, throughout the first half, U23 Vietnam's strikers were unable to increase the gap. Notably, Trong Hung's header forced goalkeeper Thitsar Min to struggle to block and Hoang Duc's skillful shot hit the post. Meanwhile, U23 Myanmar had a few weak responses so they could not score an equalizer after the first half ended.

Heavy rain and thunder caused the second half to be delayed for more than 30 minutes before it could continue. The long break combined with the experimental changes to the squad by coach Kim Han Yoon meant that U23 Vietnam could no longer maintain their dominant position. However, dangerous opportunities were still created by the home players and if it weren't for the excellence of goalkeeper Thitsar Min, U23 Myanmar might not have been able to hold out until the 75th minute, when Tien Linh defeated the opponent's goalkeeper No. 18 to raise the score to 2-0 after Thanh Thinh's assist.

Losing his cool, striker Naing Tun received two consecutive yellow cards shortly after Tien Linh's goal, forcing the away team to play with one less player in the final minutes of the match and denying Myanmar U23 the chance to score a consolation goal. In the final minutes of stoppage time, midfielder Trong Huy, after coming on as a substitute, also received a red card after committing a dangerous foul on his opponent.

At the end of the match, U23 Vietnam won in terms of score and playing style. The players who were given the opportunity to play also scored points in the eyes of coach Kim Han Yoon.
