On the evening of January 12th, the Vietnam U23 team will face the host nation, Saudi Arabia U23, in the final group stage match of the 2026 AFC U23 Asian Championship.

This was a match where goalkeeper Tran Trung Kien had to work very hard.

Throughout the 90 minutes of regulation time, the Saudi Arabia U23 players unleashed more than 20 shots towards the Vietnam U23 goal.

Trung Kien had a very skillful match.

He controlled the penalty area for the Vietnam U23 team.

Saudi Arabia U23 coach Luigi Di Biagio had to offer an optimistic assessment: "Vietnam U23 has a fantastic goalkeeper."

For his part, Trung Kien shared: "In a high-level competition like the U23 Asian Championship, when stepping onto the field, the only goal that the Vietnam U23 team aims for is always to win all 3 points. Today, every player on the field gave more than 100% of their effort."

"After each match, the coaching staff and players sit down to reflect on their experiences, thoroughly analyze mistakes, and study the next opponent. Every match is like that, and the Vietnam U23 team will try to continue this in the following matches," Trung Kien affirmed.
