national team failed to dethrone defending champion Vietnam in the 2025 AFF
U-23 Championship final at the Gelora Bung Karno Main Stadium on Tuesday (July

Match Progress
In the early minutes,
Indonesia played aggressively. Jens Raven had a good chance from a loose ball
thrown in by Robi Darwis. However, the 19-year-old striker's header went wide
of the Vietnam goal.
In the 13th minute,
Vietnam had a chance when Nguyen Van Truong's long-range shot went wide. This
was Golden Star's first chance after being under pressure from Indonesia in the
opening minutes of the match.
Van Truong had
another chance in the 25th minute. Starting from a corner kick by Nguyen Dinh
Bac, he managed to head the ball. However, the opportunity was off target. The
score remained 0-0 and the match was very exciting.
The Danger of Vietnam Corners
Indonesia had two
good chances in the 29th and 30th minutes. First, Jens Raven's shot was saved
by goalkeeper Trung Kien. Second, in a one-on-one situation, Trung Kien won a
duel with Rayhan Hannan.
Vietnam broke the
deadlock in the 37th minute. Starting from a corner kick by Nguyen Dinh Bac, a
melee ensued, which Nguyen Nhat Minh converted into a goal. Nhat Minh's
powerful shot put Vietnam ahead 1-0 over Indonesia.
Vietnam's corners
were a nightmare for Indonesia. Of the three corners, all resulted in chances,
and one resulted in a goal.
Indonesia tried to
catch up and played a more dominant role. However, a lack of creativity in
midfield made it difficult for Vietnam to enter the penalty box.
Attempts to attack
from the wings were also difficult due to passing accuracy. The score remained
0-1 for the Vietnam U-23 national team until the final whistle.
