In Group C of the U19 Southeast Asia 2024 finals, it was not too surprising when U19 Thailand won a big victory over the weakest team in the group, U19 Brunei, with a score of 6-0.
“War Elephant” entered the game enthusiastically, dominated the game and scored 6 goals from 6 different players.
In the later match, U19 Malaysia also had favorable results, defeating U19 Singapore with a score of 5-0. This is also the second consecutive win for this team in this year's tournament.
With the above results, U19 Malaysia continues to hold the top spot in the table with 6 points and a difference of +16. Meanwhile, U19 Thailand also has 6 points but ranked 2nd because of poorer goal difference (+7 compared to +16).
Notably, U19 Malaysia and U19 Thailand won 3 points in this match, causing U19 Vietnam to officially stop in the group stage of the Southeast Asian U19 Championship, although there is still one more match ahead.
According to the tournament rules, the top 3 teams in each group A, B, C and the second team with the best performance will win tickets to the semi-finals.
In Group C, Thailand and Malaysia have 6 points, while U19 Vietnam only has 1 point after 2 matches (1 draw, 1 loss). Even after defeating U19 Laos in the final match, coach Hua Hien Vinh and his team only had 4 points, at least 2 points less than their opponents.
Previously, U19 Vietnam had an unconvincing performance when they struggled to hold U19 Myanmar to a 1-1 draw and lost 2-6 to U19 Australia in the most recent match.
