Asian fans: "U22 Vietnam can compete for the championship with U22 Korea"

(Dan Tri) - Many Asian fans have praised the performance of U22 Vietnam when they won against the host team China in the four-team CFA Team China - Panda Cup 2025 in Chengdu.

"A great victory, making the home team feel embarrassed. Congratulations to U22 Vietnam," Jambi PrelovedCorner from Indonesia expressed on the Asean Football page after witnessing U22 Vietnam defeat U22 China with a score of 1-0 in the opening match of the CFA Team China - Panda Cup 2025 in Chengdu on the evening of November 12.

This was a match in which coach Dinh Hong Vinh's team showed confidence and was ready to play tit for tat against U22 China. Many opportunities were created by both teams in the first and second half, but U22 Vietnam was the team that took advantage of the situation better with the only goal scored in the 81st minute thanks to Minh Phuc's goal.

This victory helped U22 Vietnam have 3 points with U22 Korea after the opening match, but ranked 2nd due to lower goal difference (U22 Korea won U22 Uzbekistan 2-0).

Many fans in Asia have praised U22 Vietnam for their important victory over the host team. Although this is just a friendly tournament, it is considered an important practice match when all 4 talents of the tournament will compete together at the U23 Asian Cup finals taking place next year.

"From the beginning of the match, I knew that U22 Vietnam would win. Because U22 China seemed to lack the necessary confidence. They prioritized defending their home field rather than playing offensively. Congratulations to Vietnam on its victory," said Ahmed Hussain, an account from Iraq.

"For me, it's no surprise that Vietnam recently won the AFF Cup. I like Vietnam's technique and playing style. They have similar characteristics to the Korean team, strong and fierce," commented Khem Choothai from Thailand.

"It is very interesting that U22 Vietnam will likely compete for the championship with U22 Korea in the final round. U22 Vietnam is a very confident team, plays together, and promises to create surprises in the tournament," commented Korean account Kim Hye Choi.

"Honestly, the movement technique of Vietnamese players is superior to that of Chinese players. People thought that U22 Vietnam defeating China was a big shock, but in reality, China defeating Vietnam was the shock.

"Can we rely on this squad in the next World Cup qualifiers? That's a pipe dream," Chinese user Yanyu Chenmichao bitterly expressed.

"Vietnam is very good at developing youth football, it can be considered one of the leading youth football training centers in Asia. We admire you very much," concluded Mohamed Ali from Lebanon.
