In Group F, Nam Dinh seemed poised to create the most incredible scenario in the history of Asian club football cup competitions, but they were still one goal short.

The disastrous defeat away to Ratchaburi in the previous round means Nam Dinh FC no longer has control over their own destiny regarding qualification for the next round. In fact, their chances of progressing are very slim, requiring a resounding victory against Eastern and hoping Gamba Osaka defeats Ratchaburi.

At Thien Truong Stadium, the Nam Dinh representatives almost created a crazy scenario from the AFC Champions League Two 2025/26. They led Eastern FC 9-0 until the 90+3 minute. At the same time, Gamba Osaka was leading Ratchaburi 2-0.

At this point, Nam Dinh only needed to score one more goal to create an upset. Unfortunately, the V.League club couldn't pull off the miracle and had to bid farewell to the league.

All goals from the U22 Vietnam 2-1 U22 Laos match: On the afternoon of December 3rd, U22 Vietnam easily defeated U22 Laos in their opening match of Group B in the men's football tournament at the SEA Games 33 at Rajamangala Stadium.
