Coach Troussier considered the match against Uzbekistan as an opportunity to test the squad. Therefore, some players who played in the previous match such as Dang Van Lam, Nguyen Tuan Anh, Que Ngoc Hai, Trieu Viet Hung were not registered on the bench or in the starting lineup.
The French coach created conditions for many U23 players such as Phan Tuan Tai, Vo Minh Trong, Nguyen Dinh Bac and Nguyen Thai Son.

The Vietnamese team faced many difficulties against Uzbekistan.
The Vietnamese team did quite well in their first task. However, the organization of the attack was not as expected. The players still lacked ideas and coherence in their decisive passes.

The match was quite balanced in the first half. The difference came in the 26th minute, Truong Tien Anh passed the ball inaccurately in the home field. The Uzbekistan team stole the ball before quickly sending the ball into the penalty area of the Vietnam team. Urunov turned the ball to get an angle and fired a tricky shot that defeated Dinh Trieu.
The Vietnamese team lost 1 goal in the first half and lost Quang Hai due to injury. The replacement player of the Hanoi Police Club was Nguyen Hoang Duc.
In the second half, Coach Troussier made several substitutions to test the formation. The players still tried to recover the ball but their control was reduced due to the lack of synchronization. The Vietnamese team did not create any dangerous opportunities towards the opponent's goal.
On the contrary, in the 66th minute, the Uzbekistan team doubled the gap thanks to Alikulov. This player comfortably headed the ball among 8 Vietnamese players in the penalty area.
