Qatar to take on Vietnam in AFC U20 Asian Cup Uzbekistan 2023

Uzbekistan - Qatar  will  be  looking  to  secure a crucial win over high-flying    Vietnam    when  the  two  sides  meet  in  their  second  AFC  U20  Asian  Cup Uzbekistan 2023 Group B encounter today.

Qatar suffered a 0-1 loss in the hands of Iran on Wednesday while Vietnam enjoyed a dream start  with  a  1-0  defeat  of  Australia.

Following the disappointing result against Iran, head coach Inaki Abadia stressed that Qatar must improve to salvage their campaign.

“We are coming off a very tough game against Iran,” said Abadia. “We had our chances but were unable to convert them. We know  where  we  need  to  improve   when    we    face    Vietnam."

“One  of  the  key  areas  of  improvement will be ball pos-session.  We must  be  able  to  hold  on  to  the  ball  much  longer. That is crucial for our next game. We must not allow Vietnam to play from box to box,  which  we  did  against  Iran.”

Meanwhile, Vietnam, bolstered by  the  win  and  their  impressive   attacking   and   defensive display against Australia,   are   determined   to   maintain  their  momentum  against Qatar.
