Live U23 Vietnam vs U23 Iraq

Teacher and student Lee Young-jin started a less exciting match, when the Iraqis did not attack with all their might. The most dangerous chance of the match went to Vietnam, with a shot from Tran Bao Toan in the first half. Iraq didn’t create any great chances throughout the game.

Vietnam also suffered a defeat when defender Lieu Quang Vinh suffered a serious injury. In an attempt to stop midfielder Hussein Ammar in the penalty area, Quang Vinh was knocked down by the opponent’s leg. He lay on the terrace in pain and was carried off the field in a wheelchair. The defender played well with his passes into the water, until he had to leave the field.

Unlike the composition of coach Dinh The Nam in Southeast Asia U23, this time Coach Lee replaced the team formation with a 5-4-1 formation. Striker Nguyen Tran Viet Cuong struck, with Tran Van Dat and Bao Toan supporting the flanks. There are two experienced V-League players Hai Long and Trong Long in midfield. In defence, Le Van Do and Phan Tuan Tai held on, while Quang Vinh, Tran Quang Thinh and captain Dang Van Toi kicked at centre-backs.

Van Do was impressed with his pace down the right, as he created the most dangerous chance of the game. In the 18th minute, he broke through the pace on the right, giving Vietnam the chance to open up. Van Do fired at Bao Toan to secure the penalty area, but goalkeeper Hassan Ahmed fell to catch the ball. This is also the first stroke of the game.

The game could have taken a very different direction, with a controversial situation in the 20th minute. Midfielder Muntadher Abdul kicked the ball with his boot and put his foot up with Tuan Tai. Initially the referee gave a red card, but the Iraqi player reacted so violently that he only gave Abdul a yellow card.

Both teams continued to play well, until the 58th minute a more extraordinary situation occurred. Even so, Van Do crossed from the right for Le Xuan Tu to head in the second column, but the ball almost hit the post. Xuan Tu was one of six Vietnamese players who came on to the pitch in the second half, but didn’t score many goals.

Vietnam will rest for a few days before playing their second match against Croatia on Saturday, March 26. They are the only European representatives in the tournament. The main component of Croatia is players under the age of 21.
