U23 Thailand suddenly benefited from U23 Vietnam at the AFC U23 Championship

As the defending champion of U23 Asia, U23 Korea is considered the strongest team in Group C with a completely outstanding level. The strength of the players from the land of Kim Chi was clearly demonstrated after they destroyed Malaysia U23 with a score of 4-1. It seemed that U23 Vietnam would face psychological obstacles when facing U23 Korea, but the result of the match went against the predictions of the majority of fans.

With a strong spirit of competition, U23 Vietnam won a well-deserved point when holding a 1-1 draw with Korea U23. It is worth mentioning that when being led, the students of coach Gong Oh-kyun still did not give up and continuously counterattacked. The real turning point came when, Lee Jin-Yong received a second yellow card and left the field. This indirectly led to their goal, because Vu Tien Long’s goal came from a situation where U23 Vietnam exploited the opponent’s gap.

Draw U23 Vietnam, U23 Korea still can not be sure to continue. Not only that with Lee Jin-Yong’s red card, the Kim Chi team will certainly not have the service of this defender in the decisive match against Thailand U23. This is a huge loss for Korea U23, because Lee Jin-Yong is an important pillar in the play of the tournament champion.

U23 Korea lost Lee Jin-Yong in the match against Thailand U23.

Currently with the situation in Group C, it will not be difficult for Korea U23 to beat Thailand U23 to win the first place in the group and move on. Meanwhile, with a draw against 2 direct opponents, U23 Vietnam is full of opportunities to reach the next round, because in the last series we only need to beat Malaysia U23 to be sure to enter the quarterfinals.

The match between U23 Vietnam and U23 Malaysia will take place on June 8. Remember not long ago at the 31st SEA Games, the Golden Star warriors also defeated Manh Tiger with a score of 1-0.
