    Hamza Hanash tried to take a shot from a long-distance freekick, but keeper Van Viet stayed alert and saved it.

    Van Khang almost made a difference when he dribbled from the left flank to the center before shooting with power and hitting the side net.

  • 75'

    Van Tung, who had a disappointing game, was subbed out for Bui Vi Hao.

  • 73'

    Goalkeeper Abdullah Al-Sadi didn't catch a long ball cleanly and the ball found Dinh Bac, who couldn't hit the ball, otherwise it would have been a goal for Vietnam.

  • 69'

    Mohammed Al-Quasmi got a yellow card for his dangerous tackle.

  • 68'

    Right after coming on, Van Khang had a good play on the left as he made a pass for Van Tung, whose shot hit a Yemen defender.

Vietnam meet Yemen in what is considered the early final of group C in the 2024 U23 Asian Cup qualifiers.

Yemen defeated Singapore 3-0 in the first game, while hosts Vietnam also thrashed Guam 6-0.

Vietnam will put one foot past the qualifiers if they can beat Yemen.
