U23 Vietnam 1-0 U23 Yemen.
Vietnam U23 faced many difficulties when entering the second match of the 2024 AFC U23 Championship qualifiers. Yemen U23 proactively retreated deep, making it difficult for the home team to find a way into the goal. The difference came in the second half when the reserve players were brought onto the field.
Coach Troussier praised these players. He said: " In the first half, the players were a bit tense because U23 Vietnam had a chance to advance. That made them pass a lot. The continuous mistakes put pressure on the players in controlling the match.
Bui Vi Hao scored the only goal for 23 Vietnam.
Khuat Van Khang assisted and Bui Vi Hao scored the only goal of the match in the 84th minute. Both players appeared in the second half after being brought on as substitutes. However, according to coach Troussier, the "trump card" of U23 Vietnam is another name.
"I made a tactical adjustment in the second half when I put Ho Van Cuong on the field. He is my trump card. I also had another plan for Luong Duy Cuong. He replaced Ngoc Thang because this player received a yellow card. I think Duy Cuong helps the team defend more solidly, creating confidence for the players above to play.
Besides, U23 Vietnam also has Dinh Bac, Van Khang and Vi Hao. I told the players, we have starters and finishers. I don't want to call them reserve players ," said the head coach of U23 Vietnam.
U23 Vietnam won a hard-fought victory, but coach Troussier expressed satisfaction with the players' performance.

" As head coach, I still ask the players to improve further for future goals. Today, I am proud of their spirit and efforts. U23 Yemen played a crowded defense and waited for counterattacks. Therefore, finding an attacking space with U23 Vietnam was not easy. The players followed the tactics and waited for the opportunity to finish them off, " Mr. Troussier added.
