    Nguyen Quang Hai sprints from the midfield and tries a long range shot but his shot is too high.

    Nguyen Tien Linh has a clear chance to score but his shot goes wide.

Drawing two previous games has put Vietnam in a tricky situation. They have no choice but to win against North Korea tonight and hope that the other game between UAE and Jordan will also have a winner, in order to get a place in the quarterfinals.
