This result can be considered surprising as it goes against the predictions of experts. However, for those who watched the match, the score of 2-0 in favor of U22 China is reasonable. In fact, if they had taken advantage of the opportunity, U22 China could have won by more.

Compared to the 0-1 loss to U22 Vietnam in the opening match, U22 China has 9 more additions - players who have just finished their duties at the National Sports Festival.

However, because they were not in their best physical condition, coach Antonio Puche only changed 1 position in the starting lineup compared to the match against Vietnam (Li Hao replaced Huo Shenping).

However, the Chinese U22 team played quite sharply. On the contrary, the Korean U22 team played below their ability and could not show their true ability against the home team.

Behram Abduweli, a striker playing for Shenzhen Peng City, shone brightly when he scored a double to help China U22 win 2-0. Behram Abduweli's first goal (minute 71) was a situation where he swept the ball and scored a goal while facing the Korean U22 goalkeeper. Behram Abduweli's second goal came in the 80th minute with a beautiful backheel.

With this victory, U22 China has 3 points in hand, temporarily rising to the top of the rankings. The three teams behind are Korea, Vietnam and Uzbekistan, all with 3 points.
