U23 Asia 2024 match schedule today April 26: U23 Vietnam shocked?

Following the success in the group stage, U23 Vietnam is determined to create a surprise in the encounter with U23 Iraq in the quarterfinals of U23 Asia 2024.

The match between U23 Vietnam and U23 Iraq will take place at 0:30 a.m. April 27 (Vietnam time) at Al Janoub Stadium.

This is also the second time in history that U23 Vietnam and U23 Iraq have had the opportunity to meet each other on this playground.

In the previous meeting at U23 Asia 2018 (Changzhou, China), U23 Vietnam created an earthquake when eliminating U23 Iraq to achieve a miracle in reaching the semi-finals.

U23 Vietnam under the leadership of Mr. Park Hang-seo played resiliently to hold a 3-3 draw in 120 minutes, before defeating U23 Iraq 5-3 in a lucky penalty shootout.

After 6 years, the two teams have the opportunity to face off again and U23 Vietnam is hoping to repeat the feat of reaching the Asian U23 semi-finals for the second time, as well as achieving the dream of winning tickets to the Olympics.

However, this is definitely not easy when Iraq U23 is also very determined to win to win the right to continue.

The team that wins this match will face Japan U23 in the semi-finals.

Before the U23 Iraq-U23 Vietnam match takes place, at 9 p.m., U23 Uzbekistan will face U23 Saudi Arabia at Khalifa International Stadium.

This encounter recreates the 2022 Asian U23 final, where U23 Saudi Arabia defeated U23 Uzbekistan 2-0 to win the championship for the first time.

Two years have passed, both Uzbekistan and Saudi Arabia are still considered formidable opponents and it is a pity that one of the two teams had to break up./.
