Defeating U17 Malaysia 4-0, U17 Vietnam finished the 2026 AFC U17 Championship qualifiers with a perfect record, scoring 30 goals and conceding none. Speaking about the match, coach Cristiano Roland said: “We deserved to win. My goal is to play well in every match. My training method with young players is to always prepare them for the path to take. I am very happy to bring the path that the team believes in. This result shows that U17 Vietnam is a strong team.
After the qualifying round, both I and the players always want to learn and gain experience. That is good for young players. They confidently look to the future, first of all the Asian Finals. In the near future, the U17 Vietnam players will return to their clubs and continue to try to train hard."
"U17 Malaysia had won all matches before facing U17 Vietnam. After U17 Vietnam scored two goals, I had to help the young players control their emotions. There were situations where they pushed forward because of their great desire to contribute. Personally, I am very happy to have achieved the recent results," the captain of U17 Vietnam shared more.
“I would like to thank the audience who came to the stadium to cheer for the team. This is a source of motivation for the young players. We created history, this moment is very beautiful for each member of the team,” coach Cristiano Roland concluded.
Meanwhile, U17 Malaysia coach Javier Jorda Ribera said: "Before the match, I thought U17 Malaysia could compete for a ticket to the 2026 AFC U17 Championship with U17 Vietnam. At the beginning of the first half, we had clear chances but could not score, and unfortunately conceded a goal. The players played hard, fiercely and strongly, but needed more time to relax. Before the break, U17 Malaysia continued to concede another goal. U17 Vietnam played very strongly.
In the second half, we kept the same spirit, wanted to score but couldn't, then conceded another goal. I'm very sorry about this result. U17 Vietnam is the top team in Group C. I think U17 Malaysia could have played better, but the home team played hard and dedicated, their coach knew what to do."
