U23 Uzbekistan successively defeated the Philippines 5-1 and Kuwait 2-0 in the first two matches. The Central Asian representative showed good organizational ability, especially in situational transitions. Fitness and speed are also strengths that help this team create great pressure on the opponent.
Having completed the goal of passing the group stage may cause U23 Uzbekistan to calculate the force in the final match. However, this does not mean that U23 Vietnam will reduce concentration. Uzbekistan's squad still has players who are capable of creating a difference, especially on the two wings and in the midfield area.
U23 Vietnam needs to control the space well in front of the defense, and at the same time limit unforced passes in the midfield area. This is where Uzbekistan often finds ways to compete to quickly switch to attack. When the opponent pushes up the formation, the space behind can also be opened up for Vietnam to exploit.
After a 1-1 draw with Kuwait, U23 Vietnam improved their attacking ability when they won against the Philippines 2-0. Thanh Nhan and Le Phat scored in a match with more opportunities and maintained pressure for most of the match.
With 4 points, U23 Vietnam is holding the right to self-determination in the race to win a ticket to the quarterfinals.
