U17 Vietnam vs U17 Japan results: class difference

U17 Vietnam faced many difficulties against U17 Japan

Right after the opening whistle, U17 Japan rushed forward to attack with situations that hit the U17 Vietnam defense.

Minute 2, starting from an attack on the right wing, the ball was hung in for Mochiwaki to jump high and head the ball past goalkeeper Bao Ngoc.

After conceding the goal, U17 Vietnam pushed up their squad to play pressing and made their opponent confused.

However, the pressure that the red team caused was not great enough to find an equalizer.

Even if Japan U17 had been more careful, they could have scored more goals in the first half.

After the break, U17 Vietnam continued to push up the attacking formation with consecutive sideline attacks.

But while struggling to find a way into the opponent's goal, coach Hoang Anh Tuan's students conceded another goal.

In the 59th minute, a Japanese U17 player dribbled the ball down to the sideline and then passed it back to Mochizuki who cushioned the ball into the U17 Vietnam net.

7 minutes later, still from a sideline situation, Sato escaped down to score the third goal of the match, defeating goalkeeper Bao Ngoc.

In the 74th minute, goalkeeper Bao Ngoc could not hold the ball after a shot from a Japanese U17 player, creating an opportunity for Mochizuki to finish, raising the score to 4-0.

In the opposite direction, U17 Vietnam also created a few scoring opportunities but failed to take advantage.

In the end, U17 Vietnam lost 0-4 to U17 Japan.
