Vietnam defeat Australia in U20 Asian Cup

Vietnam entered the match as the widely-considered underdogs.

The Golden Stars netted their goal in the sixth minute of play following a counter-attack initiated by Khuat Van Khang and finished by Quoc Viet, who fired a stunner into the goal from 20 meters out.

Australian goalkeeper Jack Warshawsky dove for the shot but failed to make the save. 

Australia, the 2010 Asian Cup runners-up, spent the rest of the first half looking for an equalizer, but fell short despite maintaining possession for 67 percent of play.

Passes made inside the box by full-back Joshua Rawlins were blocked by defender Le Nguyen Hoang and close-range headers by striker Gabriel Popovic failed to defeat Vietnamese goalkeeper Cao Van Binh.

Vietnam maintained their stamina throughout the second half, making several attacks on goal, though all failed to hit the mark. 

Australia, meanwhile, had one on-target attempt during the entire second half, but they were unable to equalize.

With three points in Group B, Vietnam head into their upcoming matches against Qatar and Iran hoping to maintain their momentum.

The 2023 Asian Cup kicked off in Uzbekistan on Wednesday and will last until March 18. 

There are 16 teams competing in the tournament.

Buzz, Bump, Goal! Drone Football Takes Center Stage at CES

Five red drones are competing against five blue drones in a thrilling drone soccer match. Controlling the drones from outside the playing field ensures safety for all. The game lasts for three action-packed minutes, with the drones protected by globe-like shields, zooming around, colliding with each other, and bouncing off the green field. Their mission: to score goals by maneuvering a drone through the opposing team’s “donut,” a hoop suspended 3.5 meters in the air that lights up when a goal is achieved. Sean Greenhalgh, a professional drone soccer player and former Trader Joe’s employee, reveals that he discovered this emerging sport during a drone photography course about a year ago. Now, he serves as the captain and main striker for Team USA, alongside teaching children aged four and older the sport. While it may be a niche profession, Greenhalgh appears to be doing well and enjoying his role. Jasmine Lee, the match commentator, explains that an engineer, who happened to be a mas...

This is the fourth time that Vietnam have qualified for the AFF Championship final. Thanks to Nguyen Tien Linh’s double, Vietnam defeated Indonesia 2-0 after two legs as both teams had drawn 0-0 in Central Jakarta last Friday.

The players of Shin Tae Young, who had taken to Instagram to personally criticize three rough tackles by Vietnam’s left-back Doan Van Hau on Sunday, tried to hit back but their finishes either lacked accuracy or failed to beat Vietnamese goalkeeper Dang Van Lam. Vietnam wrapped up a 2-0 victory on aggregate to set up the finale against the winners...
