U23 Yemen beat Bangladesh, putting pressure on U23 Vietnam

(Dan Tri) - U23 Yemen won a narrow 1-0 victory over U23 Bangladesh. This result helped the West Asian team put pressure on U23 Vietnam in Group C of the 2026 AFC U23 Championship qualifiers.

The match between U23 Yemen and U23 Bangladesh took place this afternoon (September 6), at Viet Tri Stadium ( Phu Tho ). U23 Yemen was rated higher, but they encountered many difficulties against the young Bangladesh team who played without fear of collision.

It must also be said that U23 Yemen did not play very well in this match. They rarely created cohesive group coordination, enough to disrupt the defense of U23 Bangladesh.

The game on the field only got easier for U23 Yemen from the 87th minute, after captain Rahman Jony of U23 Bangladesh received a second yellow card and was sent off the field.

Playing with more players, U23 Yemen pushed up their formation to attack continuously, and then in the 4th minute of extra time of the second half, the young West Asian team found a goal.

Esam Al-Awami shot the ball in the 16m50 area of ​​U23 Bangladesh, scoring the only goal, sealing a 1-0 victory for U23 Yemen.

This somewhat lucky victory of U23 Yemen helps them have a full 6 points after two matches, with a goal difference of 3-1. U23 Yemen temporarily surpassed U23 Vietnam to lead Group C of the 2026 AFC U23 Championship qualifiers.

However, the West Asian team may not be able to maintain this position for long if U23 Vietnam defeats U23 Singapore in the match taking place later at 7pm tonight, also at Viet Tri Stadium.
