According toan article published on the AFC’s official site, Australia started brightly in the opening minute but Vietnam were able to contain the threat.“Despite having to defend deep, Vietnam scored against the run of play in the sixth minute when Khuat Van Khang released Quoc Viet, who burst through the Australian defence before finding the space to slot home the opener,” it added.
The AFC also posted a video capturing Viet’s goal in a tweet, praising him as “a strike worthy enough to win any match”.
“Vietnam open their #AFCU20 campaign in style with an impressive victory at the Istiqlol Stadium!” it tweeted earlier.
With this result, Vietnam claimed three precious points in the race for the top two spots to qualify for the quarterfinals, and will go through if they beat Qatar U20s on March 4.
