U.23 Vietnam has a smooth start

On the evening of September 3, the U.23 Vietnam team opened the qualifying round of the 2026 AFC U.23 Championship with a 2-0 victory over the U.23 Bangladesh team. Dinh Bac provided a perfect assist for Ngoc My to score successfully in the 15th minute, marking his first official goal for the U.23 Vietnam team.

After a first half of pressure but only one goal, coach Kim Sang-sik's students had a rather exciting second half after the three attackers Van Khang, Quoc Viet, and Le Viktor entered the field. A series of intense attacks helped create Le Viktor's goals in the 83rd minute.

This victory helped the U.23 Vietnam team temporarily lead Group C, the qualifying round of the 2027 U.23 Asian Cup with 3 points and a goal difference of +2. The U.23 Yemen team, after defeating U.23 Singapore 2-1 in the previous match, temporarily ranked second.
