U22 Vietnam played well against strong opponents at the CFA Team China 2025 friendly tournament. Coach Dinh Hong Vinh and his team, along with 3 opponents, created an interesting situation when all 4 teams competed for the championship before the final match, while still at risk of being at the bottom of the rankings.
After the first two matches, U22 Vietnam earned 2 points. Nguyen Van Truong and his teammates drew 1-1 with U22 Korea, then shared the points with no goals in the match against U22 Uzbekistan. U22 Vietnam is temporarily ranked second on the rankings (equal to U22 Uzbekistan but with a better secondary index). The top team U22 China has 4 points and is the opponent of coach Dinh Hong Vinh and his team in the final match.
U22 Vietnam can win the friendly tournament in China.
U22 Vietnam must beat U22 China in the match taking place at 6:35 pm tomorrow (March 25) to surpass the home team on the rankings. At that time, how many wins the sole representative of Southeast Asia needs to win depends on the results of the early match between the two remaining competitors. U22 Uzbekistan meets U22 Korea in the final match at 2:30 pm, meaning U22 Vietnam will take to the field knowing the specific target to achieve.
The favorable situation for U22 Vietnam is that U22 Korea (1 point) did not lose to U22 Uzbekistan. At that time, coach Dinh Hong Vinh and his team only need to beat U22 China with any score to take the top spot on the rankings. In case U22 Korea loses to U22 Uzbekistan, U22 Vietnam needs to win with the same score or a larger difference (to ensure a better secondary index than U22 Uzbekistan).
On the contrary, Van Truong and his teammates could fall to the bottom of the rankings if they lose to U22 China. At that time, U22 Vietnam (2 points) will compare the secondary index with U22 Korea (if this team draws in the last round) or U22 Uzbekistan (if this team loses the match).
