Beleaguered and constantly pressed 65 per cent of the time from kick-off , the Azkals U-23 scored first on the 37th when Ott struck just in front of the goal inside the box off a back heel pass from Beloya after a soft pass from Mark Hartmann!
After the half time break ,Vietnam pressed on with their excellent 1-2 passing game to penetrate the Azkals' seemingly much vaunted defense leading to that on-goal header by co-captain Hartmann off a frantic Viet onslaught from the left flank for the equalizer and things turned worst for the Philippines . .

From that point , Vietnam undoubtedly had the game under control with excellent passing plays particularly inside the box which confused the Azkals' back four enabling them to score twice : on the 73rd and two minutes in injury time!
While GK Muller's fantastic saves held the Viets at bay for most of the first half ,some concerns were raised on the Azkals' seemingly uncoordinated defense and apparent lack of midfield play for build-up of attack. Clearly, familiarity with each other hindered a great opening game except for that brilliant Ott strike on the 37th for the temporary lead.
Next game is on November 7 at 5 pm against unpredictable Timor Leste !
Azkals U-23 1- 3 Vietnam
Ott (37th) Hartmann (60th -OG)
Hoang Thien (73rd)
Nguyen Van Quyet ( 90th -Injury Time)
