U22 Indonesia showed confidence and approach to the match with solid play. Not only that, they soon had a goal to take the lead in the 10th minute. From Pramata Arhan’s very strong throw-in from the right, Komang Trisnanda rushed in to score the goal for Indonesia.
Thoughts of this goal will make Troussier’s players flinch. But no, U22 Vietnam still plays slowly, calmly waiting for the opportunity to attack. In the 34th minute, Tuan Tai made an accurate long swing, Minh Trong controlled it neatly and then stretched it inside. Van Tung ran inside, then turned to finish, but the ball touched the Indonesian U22 defender’s feet and flew out. The goal did not come. But we didn’t have to wait long, 36 minutes, it was Van Tung who made a very classy reverse header for U22 Vietnam after a great pass from Duc Phu.
The end of the first half was full of hope, opening up for coach Troussier tactical calculations. However, when the changes were not effective, U22 Vietnam had to concede a goal. In the 54th minute, there was a throw-in phase by Pramata Arhan, Van Chuan punched the ball out but Marcelino had a kick, the ball hit his foot, causing the goalkeeper of U22 Vietnam to give up.
Mr. Troussier was forced to push up the squad. In the 60th minute, Pramata Arhan received a second yellow card and had to leave the field after a foul on Duc Phu. Immediately, the French leader brought Van Truong and Van Khang instead of Minh Trong and Duc Phu to increase the strength of the attack. The attack was not bad, but U22 Vietnam’s equalizer came from Amiruddin’s own goal in the 79th minute.
Played with more than 1 player, U22 Vietnam almost played on the opponent’s side of the field. Coach Troussier’s team attacked like a storm and had clear scoring opportunities, but Van Khang and Van Tung could not beat the excellence of goalkeeper Ernando. The match had 8 extra minutes. Unfortunately for U22 Vietnam, because of their impatience they were punished in a counterattack. The hero who scored the 3-2 score for U22 Indonesia is Taufany.
