In the early encounter, U.23 Vietnam defeated U.23 Malaysia with a score of 2-0. This result is similar to what U.23 Uzbekistan achieved against the "Malaysian Tigers" in the first round. The difference is that U.23 Vietnam encountered many difficulties to get 3 points. Coach Hoang Anh Tuan's students entered the match with the goal of 3 points but could not impose an attack from the beginning. Not only that, the defense of U.23 Vietnam still left many worries with consecutive mistakes by Manh Hung and midfielder Thai Son.
In the deadlocked match, Khuat Van Khang was the player with the highest score in the first half with many impressive moves on the left wing. In the 18th minute, the player wearing the Viettel The Cong shirt crossed the ball accurately for Minh Khoa to receive and head the ball with great force. Unfortunately, the player wearing the number 6 shirt of U.23 Vietnam could not beat goalkeeper Muhammad Azim. But Khuat Van Khang did not have to wait too long to have joy. In the 39th minute, he himself "painted a beautiful rainbow", opening the score of the match.
The second half showed great efforts from U.23 Malaysia but it was not enough for them to create a surprise. Minh Khoa, after a missed opportunity in the first half, successfully executed the penalty kick, finishing off U.23 Malaysia.
This result helped U.23 Vietnam have 6 points after two matches with a goal difference of +4. However, the top spot slipped out of U.23 Vietnam's reach when U.23 Uzbekistan showed overwhelming strength, winning 5-0 against U.23 Kuwait. The Central Asian representative also had 6 points but the goal difference was +7.
At the same time, this result also helped U.23 Vietnam and U.23 Uzbekistan win tickets to the next round one round early. Now, the focus of the two teams will be on the "decisive battle" on April 23, where the result will decide the top spot in the group. At the 2018 U.23 Asian Cup - Changzhou (China), the U.23 Vietnam team under the leadership of coach Park Hang-seo faced U.23 Uzbekistan and lost. The match on April 23 will see the new generations of the two U.23 teams meet and promises to be exciting.
U.23 Vietnam won the ticket to the next round early
But still give the top spot to U.23 Uzbekistan
In contrast to the situation of U.23 Vietnam and U.23 Uzbekistan, the remaining 2 teams in Group D, Malaysia and Kuwait, have 0 points, sharing the bottom 2 positions. They also had to pack their bags and return home one match early.
Even U.23 Malaysia has not scored any goals since the beginning of the tournament. The "Malaysian Tigers" also have a sad record when this is the second consecutive time being eliminated because they are in the same group as U.23 Vietnam in the Asian tournament. The situation of U.23 Kuwait is not much better, scoring only 1 goal but conceding 8 goals after 2 matches.
