What scenario will U17 Vietnam advance to the 2023 U17 Asian Championship?

After two matches at the 2023 U17 Asian Cup, U17 Vietnam only has 1 point with a goal difference of -4 and is at the bottom of Group D.

U17 Vietnam lost heavily to U17 Japan

Specifically, in the opening match, coach Hoang Anh Tuan's students drew 1-1 with India and then lost heavily to Japan with a score of 0-4.

Despite two consecutive bad results, U17 Vietnam still has a good chance of getting a ticket to the group stage.

According to the regulations, each group at the 2023 U17 Asian tournament will take the two teams with the best results to the quarter-finals.

Currently, Japan and Uzbekistan are the two teams with the greatest chance of advancing, both having 4 points.

In the final match, U17 Vietnam will face Uzbekistan, while India will face Japan.

According to the rules, if teams in the same group have the same number of points, the head-to-head record will be taken into account first.

Thus, the red team will enter the quarter-finals of the 2023 U17 Asia if they defeat Uzbekistan.

Meanwhile, in the remaining match, Japan must score against India.

If this happens, coach Hoang Anh Tuan and his team will have 4 points, Uzbekistan will have 4 points, Japan will have at least 5 points and U17 India will have a maximum of 2 points.

In terms of head-to-head index, U17 Vietnam will join U17 Japan in the quarter-finals.

In the second case, if both U17 Vietnam and U17 India win, the 4 teams in group D will have 4 points.

In that case, goal difference will be taken into account.

Currently, U17 Vietnam has a goal difference of -4, India (-1), Uzbekistan (+1) and Japan (+4).

If they want to enter the quarter-finals in this case, Cong Phuong and his teammates must win at least 5-0 against U17 Uzbekistan and wait for the result of the remaining match.

According to schedule, the match between U17 Vietnam and U17 Uzbekistan will take place at 7:00 p.m. on June 23.
