Speaking after the victory over U23 Malaysia, midfielder Khuat Van Khang said: "I feel very happy to have contributed a small part to help U23 Vietnam put one foot in the quarter-finals of the Asian tournament."
Khuat Van Khang's "small contribution" goal was a beautiful free kick at a difficult distance and angle. The midfielder's left-footed shot aimed at the far corner made the U23 Malaysia goalkeeper jump as far as he could but still could not block it.
Khuat Van Khang scored a great goal.
U23 Vietnam did not play well in the first half and continuously handled the ball incorrectly. Khuat Van Khang's opening goal helped to relieve the pressure. In the second half, U23 Vietnam scored another goal thanks to Vo Hoang Minh Khoa.
The second consecutive victory opened the door to the quarterfinals for U23 Vietnam. When asked about the goal in the knockout round, midfielder No. 11 of U23 Vietnam shared: "In football, nothing can be predicted. My teammates and I will try to get the best result in the next match."

In the 58th minute, “super sub” Bui Vi Hao once again made his mark after being given the opportunity. He broke through bravely and earned a penalty after colliding with center-back Shamsul. Vo Hoang Minh Khoa took advantage of the opportunity from the 11m mark to seal a 2-0 victory for U23 Vietnam.
In the second half, the U23 Vietnam defense had an excellent performance, especially goalkeeper Quan Van Chuan. He had many impressive saves.
