Vietnam U23 qualified for the 2024 AFC U23 Championship after defeating Guam U23 and Yemen U23. As of the end of the second round, no other teams have qualified. The list of 16 teams participating in the new final round includes host Qatar U23 and Vietnam U23.
U23 Vietnam 1-0 U23 Yemen
There are many teams that have achieved a perfect record after 2 matches like U23 Vietnam. U23 Jordan, U23 Japan, U23 Uzbekistan, U23 Iran, U23 Iraq, U23 Kuwait, U23 Thailand, U23 Malaysia and U23 Saudi Arabia all have 6 points. Many of these teams have scored more than 10 goals against their opponents to create a large goal difference.
However, the above teams do not have enough conditions to qualify early like U23 Vietnam. Coach Philippe Troussier set foot in the 2024 U23 Asian Cup finals last night (September 9) partly thanks to U23 Guam holding U23 Singapore and both of these teams have no chance of going on.
U23 Vietnam soon won the right to enter the final round of U23 Asia 2024.
In Group C, the scenario of 3 teams having 6 points is definitely not happening. U23 Vietnam only needs to compete with U23 Yemen. Bui Vi Hao's goal in the 84th minute decided the direct ticket to the final round. U23 Vietnam has 6 points, 3 points more than U23 Yemen and won the match. Therefore, the West Asian team no longer has a chance to take the top spot in the final match. Perhaps this is also the reason why U23 Yemen players collapsed on the field crying after the regretful loss.
Since he is certain to qualify, Coach Troussier may shuffle the squad to give his players a chance to compete and continue to experiment with personnel and playing style. In the final match, U23 Vietnam will face U23 Singapore.
"I can give opportunities to players who have not played much in the next match. If we want to go far, we cannot rely on the 11 players who started today or the 23 players in this qualifying round. U23 Vietnam has many other players. I will create conditions for them to play," said coach Troussier.
