Before that, in the first half, striker Tien Linh had a verbal exchange with midfielder Dennis Chung. In general, the two teams competed not so fiercely as the confrontation between U23 Vietnam and U23 Indonesia (Photo: Hieu Luong)

Nham Manh Dung still plays aggressively, not afraid of disputes, but the Philippines U23 defense shows that they have a different calm than U23 Indonesia. During the match, Nham Manh Dung had two shots and the ball was not accurate (Photo: Hieu Luong)

U23 Vietnam’s public goods could not find their way into the Philippines U23 goal. In addition to the adverse weather factor, the 5-man defense of the Philippines U23 has good coordination, often creating successful offside traps (Photo: Hieu Luong)

U23 Philippines stood firm for 90 minutes at Viet Tri, holding a 0-0 draw for the home team. This result helps Philippines U23 continue to lead Group A with 4 points after two matches, equal to U23 Vietnam but ranked above due to a better goal difference (Photo: Hieu Luong)
