U23 Vietnam wants to beat Yemen, needs to do this

U23 Vietnam needs to overcome the biggest limitation when entering the decisive match to compete for a ticket to the 2026 AFC U23 Championship finals with U23 Yemen.

After 2 wins against U23 Bangladesh (2-0) and U23 Singapore (1-0), U23 Vietnam is leading Group C, only needing a draw against U23 Yemen to secure the ticket to continue with the top position in the group. However, at home, coach Kim Sang Sik's team does not intend to share points with the opponent, but aims to win.

"We analyze and research carefully before building a specific plan to achieve the best results. However, with what we have shown, I completely believe in a victory to end the qualifying round with the top spot and maximum points," coach Kim Sang Sik declared.

In the last two matches, the biggest problem of U23 Vietnam was finishing. In the 1-0 victory over U23 Singapore, the home team controlled the ball up to 73%, creating countless opportunities.

To be fair, this was a match in which Dinh Bac and his teammates were unlucky, but it was clear that the home team's attacking plans lacked effectiveness and innovation.

According to commentator Quang Tung, in addition to the players' performance, U23 Vietnam has not played at their best in the last two matches. But the match against U23 Yemen will be different, because coach Kim Sang Sik will field the strongest lineup.

In the most recent match, the Korean strategist renewed more than half of the main squad with central defender Tuan Phong, right-back Minh Phuc, midfielder Thai Son, striker Le Viktor, and Cong Phuong starting for the first time.

In the decisive match against U23 Yemen, Coach Kim may use the optimal framework of U23 Vietnam for the first time in the tournament. This will also be the squad aiming to compete for the gold medal at the 33rd SEA Games taking place at the end of the year.

U23 Vietnam played a very good match, but the key point is still the finishing. If this is done well, coach Kim Sang Sik's team will win and enter the Asian finals with 9 absolute points.
