U.23 Vietnam was made difficult by U.23 Laos

On the afternoon of December 3, U.23 Laos caused many difficulties for U.23 Vietnam. Coach Kim Sang-sik's students took the lead thanks to Dinh Bac, but were quickly equalized. In the second half, Dinh Bac shone once again to secure a 2-1 victory for U.23 Vietnam.

Coach Ha Hyeok-jun expressed his satisfaction: "I believe that the players tried their best until the last minute. Although the match result was not as expected, I am proud of my students. Regarding the second goal, we need to review it. Initially, the referee raised the flag for offside, thinking that the U.23 Vietnam player was blocking the goalkeeper's view. But then, the referee decided to change his mind."
