On the evening of May 6, the U23 Vietnam team entered the first match at the 31st SEA Games against a strong opponent U23 Indonesia. In this match, Mr. Park launched the strongest team with 3 additional names, including Hoang Duc, Hung Dung and Tien Linh.

Our players were the ones who controlled the ball better from the first minute. Opportunity quickly came to us. 20 minutes, Hoang Anh escaped very quickly on the left wing before stretching horizontally in. However, Van Tung could not successfully cushion the ball to score.

In the 33rd minute, Tan Tai burst into tears after a dangerous collision with his team. Not to mention, a series of other rough fouls.

Towards the end of the half, U23 Indonesia had some dangerous kicks but could not take advantage, the two sides left the field with a 0-0 draw.

In the second half, Mr. Park made a reasonable adjustment when sending Manh Dung to the field to replace Van Tung. It was Manh Dung who threw the decisive pass for Tien Linh to open the scoring of the confrontation. This goal is the bottleneck for us.
