Van Truong was injured and left the field on a stretcher.

Midfielder Nguyen Van Truong was injured and had to leave the field on a stretcher during the match between U22 Vietnam and U22 Korea on the afternoon of November 18.

Van Truong left the field on a stretcher during the match of U22 Vietnam.

In the 68th minute, U22 Vietnam was at a huge disadvantage when midfielder Nguyen Van Truong had to leave the field on a stretcher after a strong collision with a U22 Korean player. The situation happened right at the time when coach Dinh Hong Vinh had used up all his substitutions, forcing the team to play with 10 men for the remaining time.

By the time Van Truong left the field, U22 Vietnam was trailing 0-1. Playing with one less player made every effort to find an equalizer more difficult than ever. U22 Korea had almost all the ball control, forcing the red team to retreat deep and huddle in front of the penalty area. Coach Dinh Hong Vinh's students were forced to choose a defensive counter-attack, but in a one-sided game, U22 Vietnam's attacks lacked the sharpness to make a difference.

However, U22 Vietnam still tried to maintain concentration in defense. However, the lack of a coordinating midfielder like Van Truong made the midfield almost lose support, giving the entire game to the opponent. At the end of the match, U22 Vietnam lost 0-1 to U22 Korea.

The extent of Van Truong's injury is still unknown. With the 33rd SEA Games approaching, any injury is a major concern for the coaching staff. Van Truong is an important factor in the tournament preparation plan, and his early departure from the field in this match makes U22 Vietnam face more challenges in the final stage.
