On the evening of September 27, the U20 Vietnam team won 4-1 against U20 Guam in the third match of the 2025 U20 Asian qualifiers.
This is the third consecutive win for coach Hua Hien Vinh and his team. They have only conceded 1 goal in 3 matches. However, after the 10-1 victory of U20 Syria against U20 Guam in the afternoon of the same day, the top position in the table has changed.
U20 Syria has the same 9 points as U20 Vietnam, but has a better goal difference (+14 compared to +11). According to the format, the 10 group winners and 5 best second-placed teams will qualify for the 2025 AFC U20 Championship finals. Therefore, goal difference will be a very important factor in competing for a ticket to the continental playground next year.
In the next match, U20 Vietnam will face U20 Syria on September 29 to decide the top spot in the group. They will have to win as they are behind their opponents in terms of goal difference, while U20 Syria only needs a draw to top the group.
