Indonesian media shocked as Vietnam crushes opponent 10-0

Vietnam U17 shocks by crushing Timor Leste U17 10-0, causing Indonesian media to exclaim about the "destructive" performance at the 2026 AFC U17 Asian Cup.

The "unbelievable" victory of Vietnam U17 over Timor Leste U17 is becoming the focal point of regional media attention. From the perspective of Indonesian press, this is not merely a win, but a true demolition as the Southeast Asian representative completely overwhelmed the opponent with an astonishing 10-0 scoreline at the 2026 AFC U17 Asian Cup.

The match at Gelora Joko Samudro Stadium (Gresik, East Java) witnessed a one-sided game from the opening minutes. Vietnam U17 started with high tempo, completely controlled midfield, and continuously pressured the opponent with sharp flank attacks, leaving Timor Leste's defense almost no chance to resist.

According to Indonesian media reports, the first half already decided the outcome. Vietnam U17 scored four goals consecutively within the first 30 minutes, with clean and efficient finishes. The disparity in skill was evident as Timor Leste players repeatedly made mistakes in marking and defensive organization.

Entering the second half, the situation became even more "terrible" for the Timor Leste representative. Vietnam U17 did not slow down but continued to increase pressure,adding another six goals to complete the 10-0 victory. Indonesian media described this as a "tactical torture" as Timor Leste completely collapsed both physically and mentally.

This defeat becomes even more forgettable as Timor Leste had previously lost to Indonesia U17 0-4. Thus, after two matches, this team has conceded 14 goals and scored none – a statistic Indonesian press deemed "shameful" at regional level.

On the contrary, the emphatic victory helps Vietnam U17 rise to lead Group A with an all-win record. Indonesian media acknowledges Coach Cristiano Roland's squad is emerging as a formidable contender, not only in Southeast Asia but also on the continental stage, after a performance described as "destructive and uncompromising".
