Vietnam had the first win ever in AFC U-23 Championship when Quang Hai earned Vietnam three points after finding the net of Australia on January 14.
Vietnam played in a 5-4-1 formation as they did against South Korea in the first match, which proved to be an effective strategy of Coach Park Hang-seo. In the 72nd minute, Quang Hai made a long-range strike deflected off Australia defender Aleksandar Susnjar and into the net.

Substitute George Blackwood, who scored a brace in the earlier 3-1 win over Syria, failed to make an equalizer for Australia when his goal was disallowed for offside and his header hit the crossbar.

This result helped Vietnam to currently place second in Group D and also left the race for the quarter-finals wide open.
