In the second match, U.23 Vietnam with a brilliant performance in the second half won 1-0 (Minh Phuc scored) against the home team U.23 China, thereby creating an advantage of starting with the same 3 points compared to U.23 Korea.

Due to the lower number of goals scored, U.23 Vietnam will temporarily rank second, while U.23 China ranks third and U.23 Uzbekistan ranks last after the first round. Of course, this is only a temporary result as all 4 teams still have 2 matches left to improve their scores.

Coach Dinh Hong Vinh and his team will aim for another good result against U.23 Uzbekistan in the match taking place at 2:30 p.m. Vietnam time, to continue maintaining their psychological momentum and compete for a favorable position.

Meanwhile, the top team U.23 Korea will meet U.23 China, which has no other choice but to win to compete for points with the remaining opponents.
