Despite fielding a young squad with an average age of 19.6, the Vietnamese Olympic team still played well in the first half, controlling the ball up to 65%. Coach Hoang Anh Tuan's team's ball control advantage was concretized by 3 goals from Van Khang and Quoc Viet (2 goals) to help the Vietnamese Olympic team create a big gap after the first 45 minutes.
The joy of victory of Vietnam Olympic
However, even when playing better than their opponents, the Vietnamese Olympic team still revealed some weaknesses. Many bad passes and especially poor final touches affected the strength of the Vietnamese Olympic team. The weaknesses of the Vietnamese Olympic team were revealed more in the second half, especially the 2 goals conceded and 2 yellow cards of Dinh Phu and Nguyen Hoang made coach Hoang Anh Tuan angry.
However, the mistake of the Vietnamese Olympic team is understandable, because the weather at 4pm in Hangzhou was very hot, causing the players to quickly lose strength. Van Khang and Duc Viet were withdrawn early to rest, replaced by Thai Son and Minh Trong. After that, Xuan Tien was also withdrawn to be replaced by Nguyen Hoang and it was the player who entered the field in the second half who scored to increase the score to 4-1.
Defeating the Mongolian Olympic team with a squad of just over 19 years old is still a good start for the Vietnamese Olympic team.
Coach Hoang Anh Tuan press conference after the match
However, coach Hoang Anh Tuan was angry about the 2 unnecessary yellow cards and especially the 2 goals conceded came from mistakes of the defense. Coach Hoang Anh Tuan was right to express his anger. Speaking after the match, the head coach of the Vietnamese Olympic team expressed: "Looking back at this match, I am satisfied with the score but very angry about the team's silly mistakes that led to 2 yellow cards. I am not satisfied at all. When we were leading 3-0 after the first half, some players were in a loose state. Both goals conceded were warned by me many times before preparing for the tournament, not just this match.
I reminded the players at the beginning of the match and when preparing to end the match to be extremely focused, because mistakes will happen at times like that. That is not good at all because it can completely change the match and even the tournament. Everyone will have to review themselves because goals like that can make the Vietnamese Olympic team return home early. ASIAD 19 is a big tournament, a great opportunity for the players. The Vietnamese Olympic team has the youngest average age in the tournament. It is very important for them to participate and compete in this tournament. Each match will not be easy, but I am very excited and want the players to clearly feel this big tournament, this great opportunity to grow up. Today, some players played well, some did not so well, so it is difficult to evaluate. In my mind, I am very upset about the undeserved yellow cards. The Vietnamese fans are wonderful. We were surprised to see a group of Vietnamese fans appear in the stands, which touched and boosted the team's spirit."
In the remaining match of Group B, Saudi Arabia drew 0-0 with Iran. Both teams played cautiously, so neither team scored a goal. This result was somewhat favorable for the Vietnamese Olympic team, as coach Hoang Anh Tuan's team temporarily led Group B with 3 points after defeating Mongolia.

Quoc Viet (9) scored a double
Meanwhile, Mongolian Olympic team head coach Otsuka Ichiro praised the Vietnamese Olympic team, saying: "Of course we were disappointed to lose the match, especially in the first half when the Vietnamese Olympic team led 3-0. The Mongolian team wanted to score in the first 10 minutes, but were punished by Quoc Viet's early goal. The Vietnamese players have great quality and technique. They defended well and took advantage of the space behind our defense effectively. In the second half, our team played better, fought until the end and scored 2 goals at the end of the half. The whole team was sad to lose the match but I think the players can hold their heads high. We met another Southeast Asian team, Cambodia, but they did not have the style of attacking behind the defense like Vietnam. That is what really impressed me. The Vietnamese Olympic team played very well."
