Defeating Cambodia, U23 Vietnam meets Philippines in the Southeast Asian tournament semi-finals

In Group B, U23 Vietnam only needed a draw against U23 Cambodia in the final match at Bung Karno Stadium to qualify for the next round. In the end, coach Kim Sang Sik's team completed this task by winning 2-1 against the team from the land of pagodas.

With this result, U23 Vietnam has topped Group B with a full 6 points after two matches against U23 Laos and U23 Cambodia. In the semi-finals, the "Golden Dragons" will face the best second-placed team, U23 Philippines.

Although on the right track to defend the Southeast Asian U23 championship, U23 Vietnam has yet to reassure fans. In the last two matches, coach Kim Sang Sik's team played quite blandly. We have not left much of an impression despite playing against opponents who were rated much lower, U23 Laos and U23 Cambodia.

Up to 3/5 of U23 Vietnam's goals up to this point have come from set pieces. Of which, the team's attack has only scored 1 goal with Dinh Bac's strike against U23 Cambodia.

The opponent U23 Philippines is not really too strong. This will be the next test for U23 Vietnam. Fans hope that U23 Vietnam will exert more energy and perform more convincingly in the knockout stage of the tournament.

In Group C, U23 Thailand drew 0-0 with U23 Myanmar in the final match. This result was enough for the "War Elephants" to advance to the next round with the top spot in the group with 4 points. In the semi-finals, U23 Thailand will face host U23 Indonesia (top of Group A).

This is a reunion that promises to create many emotions. U23 Thailand lost 1-3 to U23 Indonesia in the semi-finals of the 2023 AFC U23 Championship. Then, they continued to fall 2-5 to the team from the archipelago in the final of the 2023 SEA Games. Even after this match, the two teams fought, creating a horrifying scene.
