Football Federation (AFF) U-16 Youth Championship on September 22,
securing a ticket to the final match after two consecutive victories.
The same day, the Chinese team defeated East Timor 1-0, and is to
compete with Indonesia on September 24 for the remaining ticket in the
final.
Meanwhile, Vietnam’s U23 team is facing a
tough task at the Millennium Football Cup last match, back in Hanoi
after their loss at Hanoi’s National Stadium to Australia on September
22.
The host lost 0-2 to Australia’s U23 team in the
second round match of the tournament, which is being held as one of the
activities to celebrate the capital’s 1000 th anniversary.
The defeat pushed the hosts down the rankings table to second place
with three points. Australia are still in third place after their win.
Meanwhile, the North Korean U23 team played to their
second victory on September 22 to climb to the top. They beat Kuwait’s
U23 team 1-0.
Vietnam, who played very well in their
first match against Kuwait, did not find their peak yesterday. In fact,
their defence was loose and their blunt forwards and passive
midfielders proved no challenge to the visitors.
In the last round match, Vietnam will play North Korea while Australia will meet Kuwait tomorrow./.
