Syria was the team in possession. They made numerous attacks to the goal of Vietnam but could not find the incision to break Vietnam’s resolute, well-organized defensive line.

The draw put Vietnam on the second position with four points after Korea Republic, who defeated Australia 3-2 in Wednesday's other game and topped group D with seven points.

As the second-placed team of Group D, Vietnam will play their first ever AFC U23 Championship quarter-final game against Group C first-placed team and 2013 champion Iraq on January 20.
