After the second match, U17 Vietnam is in 3rd place in Group B with 2 points after draws against U17 Australia and U17 Japan.
Meanwhile, U17 Japan temporarily leads with 4 points (won the UAE and drew with Vietnam). Ranked 2nd is U17 UAE after defeating U17 Australia with a score of 2-0. Meanwhile, U17 Australia is at the bottom of the table with 1 point won from a draw with Vietnam.
With the situation after 2 matches, U17 Vietnam has the right to decide whether to enter the top 2 teams of Group B of the 2025 U17 Asian Cup. This is a condition for U17 Vietnam to win a ticket to the U17 World Cup finals.
But it should be emphasized that Gia Bao and his teammates will only advance if they defeat U17 UAE in the final round. If they draw or lose to U17 UAE in the final round, coach Cristiano Roland and his team will say goodbye to their dream of playing in the world.
In case U17 Vietnam wins U17 UAE, the "Golden Star Warriors" will top the group if U17 Japan loses to U17 Australia. At that time, the team will be second in the group and will continue with U17 Vietnam to represent Group B, U17 Australia. The reason is that U17 Australia has the same 4 points but is better than Japan in terms of direct confrontation index.
U17 Vietnam will also top Group B if they win U17 UAE by 3 goals, plus U17 Japan will draw or lose to U17 Australia.
In this case, if they draw with U17 Australia, U17 Japan will have the same 5 points as U17 Vietnam, equal to the direct confrontation index but with a lower final score. Therefore, U17 Japan will be second in the group and will join the first team Vietnam to participate in the World Cup.
Meanwhile, if they lose to Australia U17, the cherry blossom youth team will have to give up tickets to the representative of the land of the rat pockets as analyzed above.
U17 Vietnam will be second in the group if they do not win against U17 UAE by 3 goals or more and U17 Japan will not lose to U17 Australia. At this time, Japan and Vietnam will participate in the 2025 U17 World Cup finals.
