Myanmar's U19 squad failed to pull off an upset, losing decisively 0-5 to Vietnam's U19 team.
Vietnam's U19 team continued to demonstrate their overwhelming strength by defeating Myanmar's U19 side with a commanding 5-0 scoreline. After missing several early chances, the red-shirted squad broke the deadlock in the 28th minute through a precise header by Tan Dung. Before the first half ended, Cong Hau capitalized on a rebound to double the lead, giving Vietnam's U19 team a significant advantage.
In the second half, the match remained entirely under Vietnam's U19 control. Van Bach scored a beautiful goal from outside the box in the 49th minute, followed by Duy Khang successfully converting a penalty to make it 4-0. For the remainder of the game, Vietnam's U19 team deliberately slowed the pace to preserve energy, yet still maintained control and added another goal to seal the 5-0 victory.
After the match, many Myanmar fans left comments acknowledging the superiority of Vietnam's U19 team. One supporter remarked: "Vietnam has a more diverse attack than Indonesia. They are not only strong through the middle but also exploit the wings very well, leaving Myanmar's defense almost no time to breathe."
Another opinion suggested that Vietnam's youth football is maintaining its leading position in the region: "From U17 to U19 and U23, Vietnam consistently produces quality players. They have invested systematically over many years and are now reaping well-deserved rewards."
Many Myanmar fans also offered words of encouragement to their team after the heavy defeat. One comment read: "The Myanmar players gave their all. The issue is the huge gap in quality with Vietnam and Indonesia at present. We fought hard, but the opponents were simply stronger."
Another fan expressed regret while recalling the past: "Myanmar used to be a formidable youth football nation, having participated in the U20 World Cup. But now we have fallen far behind Vietnam. This is truly something to reflect on."
Several opinions also praised the potential of Vietnam's current generation of players. A Myanmar fan commented: "This Vietnam U19 squad has many promising individuals. They play with confidence, good technique, and are very efficient in finishing. If they continue to develop in the right direction, they could become the backbone of Vietnamese football in the future." Another concluded: "Vietnam and Indonesia are the two strongest candidates for the championship title this year."
