Vietnam U17 suffered a heavy defeat against South Korea.

Despite surprisingly taking the lead in the first half, the South Korean U17 team rallied and scored a series of goals in the second half against the Vietnamese U17 team.

Vietnam U17 is currently leading South Korea U17.

As expected, the South Korean U17 team started the match with a dominant performance thanks to their superior physical fitness and technical skills. The team from the land of kimchi controlled the ball for over 70%, constantly pressing and pushing the Vietnamese U17 team deep into their own half.

However, unlike the suffocating pressure created by their opponents, Coach Roland's players maintained a well-organized formation and disciplined defense. Not only did they withstand the pressure, but the Vietnam U17 team also created sharp counter-attacks right from the start of the match.

In the first minute, Van Duong startled the South Korean defense with a dribble from the left wing followed by a decisive shot, although the ball couldn't get past the opposing defense. A few minutes later, the player had another dangerous shot inside the penalty area.

For most of the first half, the South Korean U17 team was almost completely ineffective against the tight defense of the Vietnamese U17 team. The most notable opportunity for the East Asian team came in the 20th minute when Nam Lan headed the ball from close range, narrowly missing the post.

The surprise came in the 33rd minute. From a quick counter-attack, Quy Vuong delivered a clever pass to Sy Bach, who broke the offside trap, sprinted forward at full speed before unleashing a powerful diagonal shot that beat the South Korean U17 goalkeeper.

The goal ignited an atmosphere in the stadium, and the Vietnam U17 team played with even more confidence. In the final minutes of the first half, the South Korea U17 team increased the pressure with set pieces but were unable to break through the red-shirted defense.

In the final minutes of the second half, the South Korean U17 team continuously pressed forward, scoring several goals. In the goals conceded by the Vietnamese U17 team, many players showed immaturity in their handling of the situation.
