Tie with U22 Uzbekistan, U22 Vietnam competes for championship with U22 China

(Dan Tri) - In the second match of the CFA Team China tournament on the evening of March 23, U22 Vietnam drew goalless with U22 Uzbekistan. Coach Dinh Hong Vinh's team is currently in second place after two matches.

U22 Uzbekistan was rated higher than U22 Vietnam, but the young team from Central Asia did not rush to attack after the opening whistle. Coach Khaydarov proactively let his students use a strong playing style to break U22 Vietnam's strength. In the first 30 minutes of the match, U22 Vietnam controlled the ball slightly better and also had a few shots towards the opponent's goal, but did not really pose a danger to Sayyotov's goal.

In the last 15 minutes of the first half, U22 Uzbekistan accelerated their attack, but coach Dinh Hong Vinh's team defended tightly and entered the break with a draw. After the break, U22 Vietnam got into a good rhythm with confident ball possession, but against a tight defense, Thanh Nhan and his teammates still could not cause trouble for the opponent's goal.

U22 Uzbekistan quickly regained control of the game and increased pressure on U22 Vietnam's defense. However, goalkeeper Cao Van Binh played steadily with solid ball-catching situations to help U22 Vietnam protect the net until the referee blew the final whistle.

After the second round, U22 China is in the lead with 4 points, U22 Vietnam is in second place with 2 points, U22 Uzbekistan is in third place with 2 points, U22 Korea is at the bottom of the table with 1 point.
