The unfortunate defeat against U20 Indonesia means that U20 Vietnam has not yet qualified for the 2023 AFC U20 Championship finals, and must wait for the results of other groups.
The match between U20 Indonesia and U20 Vietnam took place at a high speed right after the opening whistle. With the cheers of tens of thousands of home fans, U20 Indonesia took the initiative on the field.
In the 4th minute, Ronaldo had a quick one-touch shot but could not beat goalkeeper Cao Van Binh. Another U20 Indonesian player rushed in to score but there was no goal for the home team.
In the first 20 minutes, U20 Vietnam could not organize an attack. The most notable move of U20 Vietnam was a long-range shot from Khuat Van Khang but the goal still did not come.
However, in defense, coach Dinh The Nam's students still did well and maintained their concentration. U20 Indonesia had very few opportunities to approach the U20 Vietnam goal.
U20 Vietnam lost to U20 Indonesia
After the break, U20 Indonesia was still the dominant team on the field. In the 61st minute, a U20 Vietnam player lost the ball in the middle of the field. U20 Indonesia launched a quick attack, the ball came to Ferdinan's feet and this player shot beautifully from a distance, defeating Cao Van Binh to open the score of the match.
This goal forced U20 Vietnam to push up their formation to find an equalizer. Exactly 5 minutes later, U20 Vietnam counterattacked at a very high speed. Van Khang dribbled past the opponent's defender before making a favorable pass for Thanh Nhan to tap the ball into the net close to equalize 1-1.
This was the start of an extremely exciting score chase in the final minutes of the match. In the 79th minute, Anh Tu made an accurate pass to Thanh Nhan, who covered the ball very well before passing the ball to Xuan Tien who rushed up to finish, raising the score to 2-1.
However, when having the advantage, U20 Vietnam could not stand firm against the pressure of the home team. In the 82nd minute, from a corner kick from a teammate on the left wing, captain Ferarri jumped high to head the equalizer for U20 Indonesia.
Three minutes later, U20 Vietnam conceded a regrettable goal from a moment of carelessness by the defense. Goalkeeper Cao Van Binh's unsuccessful interception allowed Rabbani Siddiq to easily tap the ball into the net from close range, sealing the victory for U20 Indonesia.
The 2-3 defeat to the home team left U20 Vietnam in second place in Group F with 6 points and a goal difference of +7. Coach Dinh The Nam and his team will have to wait for the results of other groups to see if they can qualify for the 2023 AFC U20 Championship finals.
