The hot weather in Uzbekistan and before the opponent entered the game with a comfortable mental state did not make it difficult for the “Golden Star Warriors”. Although Coach Gong had quite a few changes in the starting lineup, U23 Vietnam still soon created an overwhelming game.
In the 10th minute, picking up a teammate’s slit, Nham Manh Dung skillfully pulled his roar down. Unfortunately, the next shot of the defender cum striker U23 Vietnam went slightly higher than the opposite goal. In the 23rd minute, Manh Dung continued to shoot, causing goalkeeper Firdaus to struggle to save.
U23 Vietnam’s offensive effort finally paid off in the 28th minute. Receiving a cross like Van Cong’s, it was still Nham Manh Dung who jumped up and headed bravely to hit the roof of Malaysia’s U23 net.

But the important turning point of the match came in the last minutes of the first half. Quang Nho’s wise turn made defender Hairiey use his hand to block the ball in the penalty area. Referee Perera and the VAR team took more than 10 minutes to make a decision. Penalty for U23 Vietnam and red card for defender U23 Malaysia.
From the 11m mark, Viet Anh could not beat goalkeeper Firdaus but still luckily finished to raise the score to 2-0.
The advantage of leading the table and playing more than anyone helped coach Gong Oh-kyun’s students play leisurely in the last 45 minutes. U23 Vietnam had more clear opportunities, the most significant of which must be Van Tung’s shot to hit the column in the 63rd minute, but no more goals were scored.
