In what cases can U.17 Vietnam squeeze into the narrow door to the quarter-finals of the Asian tournament?

After 2 matches of Group D, U.17 Japan is ranked first in the group with 4 points (goal difference +4), U.17 Uzbekistan is ranked second (4 points, goal difference +1), U.17 India is ranked third (1 point, goal difference -1), U.17 Vietnam is at the bottom of the group (1 point, goal difference -4).

In fact, U.17 Japan is too strong and the fact that U.17 Vietnam lost heavily to the "Blue Samurai" is not a nightmare. Coach Hoang Anh Tuan's team must enter a crucial match in the final match against U.17 Uzbekistan.

Accordingly, the young Vietnamese boys still hold the right to decide for the ticket to the quarter-finals. Nguyen Cong Phuong and his teammates must win against U.17 Uzbekistan to be able to enter the next round.

In case of winning against the representative from Central Asia, U.17 Vietnam will have 4 points. According to the tournament rules, if two teams have the same number of points, the previous head-to-head record will be used to determine the ranking. Thus, U.17 Vietnam and U.17 Uzbekistan both have 4 points, but because coach Hoang Anh Tuan's team won the direct confrontation, they will be ranked above the other team.

It is mandatory for U.17 Vietnam to beat U.17 Uzbekistan, and the necessary condition for coach Hoang Anh Tuan's team to continue is that U.17 India cannot beat U.17 Japan. However, the possibility that U.17 India can create a surprise against the team from the land of cherry blossoms is very unlikely.

U.17 Vietnam must beat U.17 Uzbekistan to have a chance to continue.

Therefore, U.17 Vietnam must put all their strength into playing as if they have nothing to lose against U.17 Uzbekistan with the goal of winning to be able to enter the quarter-finals. The two matches in the last round of Group D will take place at 7:00 p.m. on June 23.
