In the early match of the final round of the CFA Team China 2025 friendly tournament, U22 Uzbekistan fielded their strongest lineup but suffered a bitter defeat against U22 Korea. The East Asian team opened the scoring in the 27th minute. After that, Uzbekistan had a player sent off after a dangerous foul. From then on, Uzbekistan faced many difficulties.
In the second half, Korea easily scored 2 more goals and temporarily took a 3-0 lead. It was not until the 3rd minute of extra time that Rustam scored an honorary goal for Uzbekistan.
U22 Vietnam has a chance to win CFA Team China 2025.
This victory helped U22 Korea get 4 points, temporarily equal to U22 China but played 1 more match. They also lost to their opponent in the head-to-head index. Therefore, the match between U22 Vietnam and U22 China became the final match of the tournament. One point is enough for U22 China to officially be crowned champion.
U22 Vietnam is 2 points behind U22 China on the rankings. Defeating the home team, U22 Vietnam will be crowned champion if they defeat China. Therefore, coach Dinh Hong Vinh will most likely use the strongest lineup, not much changed compared to the previous 2 matches.
However, U22 China showed their toughness and perseverance in defense. The home team is not easy to defeat under any circumstances. U22 China has weaknesses in the attacking front. Their midfielders are not flexible enough to provide enough balls to the front line.
Nguyen Van Truong - captain of U22 Vietnam still holds a crucial role in the midfield. Vietnamese-American midfielder Viktor Le deserves to return to the starting lineup. In addition, Nguyen Xuan Bac with his skillful technical foundation will improve the ability to circulate the ball, switching from defense to attack of U22 Vietnam.
U22 Vietnam meets U22 China at 18:35 on March 25.
