U16 Vietnam beat U16 Brunei 15-0 at Southeast Asian tournament

U16 Vietnam took the initiative to attack right after the opening whistle. Although they were rated much higher, it was not until the 17th minute that coach Tran Minh Chien's team scored the opening goal.

That was a well-coordinated situation by U16 Vietnam that left the U16 Brunei defense "frozen". Viet Long was the one who scored the goal for U16 Vietnam.
