After the opening 3-0 victory over U23 Laos, U23 Vietnam has a wide open door to the semi-finals of the 2025 Southeast Asian U23 tournament. Coach Kim Sang Sik and his team are aiming for the next victory in the tournament, against U23 Cambodia in the final round of the group stage.
In the victory over U23 Laos, U23 Vietnam achieved the goal of winning all 3 points, no player was injured, but coach Kim Sang Sik was not really satisfied. Against a weak opponent, Khuat Van Khang and his teammates had a time when they controlled the ball up to nearly 90%, but did not create the desired game.

It is worth mentioning that 2 out of 3 goals of U23 Vietnam were scored by defenders, while the strikers on the attack line only played their roles well, if not to say not up to standard. Although coach Kim Sang Sik believes that any player can score because the ultimate goal is to win, it is clear that the Korean strategist must make adjustments in personnel and playing style because from the semi-finals, U23 Vietnam will face much "tougher" opponents.
In fact, the opening match is always difficult, not to mention that U23 Laos also showed progress. However, the fact that U23 Vietnam had many moments of deadlocked play needs to be reviewed. Coach Kim Sang Sik's students made too many bad passes, not creating the necessary pressure to penetrate the opponent's defense.

Meeting U23 Cambodia continues to be an easy match for U23 Vietnam, but if they cannot solve the problems encountered in the opening match, coach Kim Sang Sik's team may once again fall into a deadlock.
A draw is enough to advance to the top of the group, but U23 Vietnam needs to do more than that, not just the score, but also the performance, fighting spirit...
The match between U23 Vietnam and U23 Cambodia will take place at 8:00 p.m. on July 22 in Indonesia.
Expected lineup of U23 Vietnam: Trung Kien, Ly Duc, Hieu Minh, Nhat Minh, Van Khang, Thai Son, Van Truong, Minh Phuc, Victor Le, Quoc Viet, Dinh Bac
