Meanwhile, U23 Laos started the tournament with a 1-1 draw against Cambodia, showing a commendable fighting spirit but still having many limitations. They will have to face a huge challenge in the form of U23 Vietnam - a team that has won all 5 of their most recent matches, scoring 20 goals and conceding only 2.

With a clear difference in strength, Laos will likely continue to choose a defensive counter-attacking style of play, but it will be difficult to avoid a heavy defeat against Vietnam's superior strength and experience.
