U23 Vietnam opened the AFC U23 Championship 2026 finals with a 2-0 victory over U23 Jordan, thereby creating an early advantage in the race to win a ticket to the quarterfinals.

Coach Kim Sang-sik's team organized a tight defense, maintained a reasonable formation distance and especially exploited well set pieces. Dinh Bac and Hieu Minh's two goals both came from well-prepared combinations, showing tactical initiative.

This victory helped U23 Vietnam accumulate 3 important points, and at the same time created a favorable foundation before the second match against U23 Kyrgyzstan. In the opening match, the Central Asian representative lost 0-1 to U23 Saudi Arabia in the context of having to play with one less player from quite early. However, U23 Kyrgyzstan still maintained a disciplined defensive formation and only conceded a goal in the final stage.

The experience of U23 Kyrgyzstan playing in the continental arena is not much, but that does not mean that they are an easy opponent to defeat.

In the qualifying round, this team drew with U23 Uzbekistan - the defending runner-up of the tournament, showing impressive organizational ability and fighting spirit.

The preparation process of U23 Kyrgyzstan also brought positive signals. In the friendly matches before the tournament, they faced many opponents with different levels such as U23 Bahrain, U21 Russia, U23 Iran or U23 China, including victories against Iran and Bahrain.

In that context, U23 Vietnam needs to approach the match with caution. Taking advantage of opportunities and maintaining concentration will be a key factor if the team wants to continue to have favorable results to compete for a high position in the group.

The match between U23 Vietnam and U23 Kyrgyzstan will take place at 9:00 PM today and live on TV360.
