Vietnam secure place in U17 Asian Cup 2025 Finals

As the match kicked off, Yemen had the upper hand, capitalising on a midfield turnover to score the opening goal. In the 12th minute, Abdulatef netted the first goal for Yemen following a well-timed pass from his teammate, putting Vietnam on the defensive early in the game.

After conceding, Vietnamese players raised their game to seek an equaliser. In the 30th minute, amidst a scramble in Yemen’s penalty area, captain Le Huy Viet Anh seized the opportunity, scoring from close range to level the score at 1-1.

In the second half, both teams played cautiously, opting for a more defensive approach, with the ball largely staying in the midfield. Content with the current score, both sides refrained from aggressive attacks, and the game ended with a 1-1 draw.

With five points from their group matches, Vietnam’s U17 team finished in second place but still secured their place in the finals by ranking higher than five other second-placed teams. Yemen, with seven points, topped Group I, advancing as the group leaders.
