U.20 Syria defeated U.20 Bangladesh, worthy of being the number 1 opponent of U.20 Vietnam

In the 2025 U.20 Asian qualifiers, U.20 Syria is considered the main rival of U.20 Vietnam for the top spot in Group A. The young players from West Asia have a fairly even force and have won tickets to the U.20 Asian finals in 2023. The difference is that U.20 Syria is only in the 4th seed group of the West Asia region that year, lower than the starting point of U.20 Vietnam (seed group 3).

U.20 Syria is highly rated in Group A of the U.20 Asian qualifiers.

In the match against U.20 Bangladesh, U.20 Syria showed their strength when they pushed up their attacking formation right after the opening whistle. Right in the 5th minute, from a cross from the right wing by Anas Dahhan, player number 17 Issa accurately tapped the ball with his left foot, bringing the opening goal for U.20 Syria.

With the goal, the spirit of the U.20 Syria players was very high. The team led by coach Mohamad Akil deployed a variety of attacking tactics, causing the U.20 Bangladesh goal to be shaken. Without having to wait too long, in the 12th minute, from a right-wing cross, Youshaa Knaj successfully converted the ball in the air, doubling the gap for the home team.

At the end of the first half, U.20 Syria was still the team that took the initiative to attack. If they had been more careful, the red-shirted players could have scored more than 2 goals.

U.20 Syria easily led 2-0 after the first half

In the second half, U.20 Syria continued to control the game. In the 72nd minute, Dukhan kicked the ball accurately in the penalty area, helping U.20 Syria raise the score to 3-0. Not stopping there, in the 79th minute, Anas Dahhan - the player who assisted the opening goal scored himself, sealing a 4-0 victory for U.20 Syria.

The 4-0 victory on the opening day also helped U.20 Syria earn 3 points, rising to the top of Group A. After the match, coach Mohamad Akil shared: “I am satisfied with the team's performance today, the players played well after a long journey. This is necessary experience for the U.20 age group. However, there are many things we need to improve. The preparation time between matches is quite short, so we need to focus to be able to play to our full potential. Our team came here to try to win a ticket to the next round.”

Meanwhile, the best player of the match, Wessam Dukhan, with 1 goal and 1 assist, also expressed satisfaction with the team's performance. He expressed: "I am satisfied with the result, and I am also very happy to have scored today. My teammates and I will focus on playing well in the upcoming matches."

Coach Mohamad Akil is satisfied with his players' performance.

After this match, U.20 Syria will have a break. Next, in the second and third matches, U.20 Syria will meet U.20 Bhutan (September 25) and U.20 Guam (September 27). On September 29, U.20 Syria will have a decisive match with U.20 Vietnam. This is considered a match worth watching, which could decide the top spot in Group A.
