Right from the start, U23 Indonesia played aggressively. Even when they had the ball a lot to attack, their players still actively committed fouls. The chances for U23 Indonesia mainly came from throw-ins. But only once in the first half, Jens Raven threatened the goal of U23 Vietnam.

As for the rest, goalkeeper Trung Kien and his teammates were alert enough to neutralize the situation. And conversely, coach Kim Sang Sik's team took advantage of the opportunities from set pieces.

All 3 corner kicks of U23 Vietnam in the first half created trouble. In particular, the situation in the 36th minute brought the opening goal. Dinh Bac made a difficult pass, creating trouble in the penalty area. Cong Phuong seized the opportunity to volley the second ball into the net of U23 Indonesia.

After conceding the goal, the home team became even more hasty and had more fierce situations. According to statistics, in just over 45 minutes in the first half, they committed 8 fouls, 4 times more than the U23 Vietnam team.

In the second half, U23 Indonesia was forced to hold the ball to advance their attack. However, their deployment speed was not fast enough and was easily neutralized by the Vietnamese players.

As time passed, coach Kim Sang Sik's team retreated deeper into their home field. The game was completely dominated by U23 Indonesia, but their declining physical strength prevented them from playing any better.

U23 Vietnam maintained a 1-0 victory, thereby winning the U23 Southeast Asian Championship for the third consecutive time.
