At 20:00 beijing time on February 26, 2022, the Southeast Asia U23 Championship began, and the Thailand U23 VS Vietnam U23 began. In the first half, Vietnam scored a goal, and in the second half, although thailand made a wild attack, it did not form a particularly quality goal, and in the end, Thailand lost 1-0 to Vietnam U23 twice in a week.
In recent times, whether it is the Vietnamese adult national team or the Vietnamese Youth Army, the number of matches with the Thai team is the most. Vietnam U23 in the previous five encounters, Vietnam team won 3 wins and 3 draws, but since 2017 in the 3 meetings, Vietnam U23 has maintained a full victory, and two consecutive games of clean sheets, scoring 5 goals. It should be said that from the perspective of the U23 players, the Vietnamese team has surpassed the Thai team.
After the start of the game, the two teams attacked and defended each other, and the Thai team did not lose to the Vietnamese team on the scene, but in terms of the effective rate of attack, the Vietnamese team was significantly higher than the Thai team. In the first half, Thailand scored a total of 9 times, only 2 shots on target, and did not score a goal. Vietnam, on the other hand, had seven shots on goal, five on target and one goal.
In the second half, Thailand, 0-1 behind, made a comeback. In the 64th minute, the Vietnamese team once again found a good opportunity in front of the Thai team, but the subsequent shot was blocked and failed to score the ball, but the defending Thai players had cramps on both legs due to excessive movement, and finally with the help of two players, they stretched their muscles and bones and continued to play. Subsequently, the Vietnamese attacking players also experienced cramps. It can be seen that the bravery of the two teams fighting is high.
But come to think of it, how long has it been since our Chinese players have seen them run to cramps on the court? Is it eating sea cucumbers?
In the 69th minute, the Vietnamese team won a corner kick, and the Vietnamese player's header hit the crossbar and almost extended the result. In the end, Vietnam U23 once again beat Thailand U23 1-0, which was also a consecutive 1-0 win over Thailand within a week. It is worth mentioning that the current Vietnamese U23 team is actually Vietnam's U21 team. Recently, Vietnamese U21 to U23 players have competed in a wide range of competitions, including the U23 Asian Cup qualifiers, as well as the Southeast China Youth Championship and the Southeast Asia U22 Championship. Such a high-intensity game exercise, I believe that the improvement of the players will help a lot.
The match also set 2 new records. First, Vietnam U23 set a four-game win over Thailand U23; second, Vietnam U23 won five consecutive wins, beating Chinese Taipei, Myanmar U23, Singapore U23 and Thailand U23 respectively. Set a record of five consecutive wins for the first time since 2018.
