Khuat Van Khang in the match against U.22 Laos
The match between U.22 Vietnam and U.22 Thailand coincided with his birthday, marking the end of midfielder Khuat Van Khang's "teenage" stage and his turn of 20.
That was the match where the young man of Viettel Club was arranged by coach Philippe Troussier to start as a left-back, before being pushed up to play as a center forward in the second half.
As a defender, Khuyen Van Khang fulfilled his duties by constantly fighting and committing tactical fouls to block the attacks of U.22 Thailand.
Despite playing fiercely, Van Khang still showed his sportsmanship , as seen in the image of him hugging Settatist Suvannaseat's head and whispering an apology, or shaking hands with other U.22 Thailand players.
Van Khang regrets after his free kick almost scored against U.22 Thailand
In the match on his birthday, Van Khang really wanted to score a goal against U.22 Thailand. He was really close to that goal, like the situation of intercepting goalkeeper Thirawooth Sraunson but unfortunately his header from a narrow angle missed the post.
It was even more regrettable when in the 74th minute, Van Khang's beautiful rainbow free kick from more than 20m put the ball into the "banh chung corner" of the goal, but this time Thirawooth Sraunson miraculously pushed it out by a hair's breadth.
Regrets still lingered, when after Le Quoc Nhat Nam's equalizer 1-1, U.22 Vietnam, despite having the ball a lot and creating many opportunities, could not score more goals.
Khuat Van Khang is the reserve player used most by coach Troussier.
At 4:00 p.m. today, May 13, Khuat Van Khang and U.22 Vietnam will enter the semi-final match of men's football at SEA Games 32 with U.22 Indonesia.
The final is just around the corner, so coach Philippe Troussier and his team will certainly do their best, continuing to play an open attacking style to score against the team that has topped Group A with 4 wins in a row.
Khuat Van Khang personally will have more desire and motivation for this afternoon's match, contributing to U.22 Vietnam defeating U.22 Indonesia to be able to set foot in the final match, getting closer to his biggest birthday wish of bringing home a gold medal for Vietnam at the 32nd SEA Games.
