HÀ NỘI — Việt Nam will defend their title after their second win at the International U19 Football Tournament in Gia Lai Province on Saturday.

Coach Vũ Hồng Việt of Việt Nam confirmed the news after his players defeated FC Seoul 2-1 in the second round match.

Two goals by Việt Nam went to Trần Công Minh and Nhâm Mạnh Dũng, while Kang Mingi scored the only goal for the South Korean side.

“I feel good when my players strictly follow my tactics and win the match. Prior to the tournament, we thought Seoul would be the team who could vie for the winning trophy with us. We will defeat them both in the two last matches to defend our title,” Việt said.

Việt Nam will face Hoàng Anh Gia Lai on March 28 and Mito Hollyhock two days later.
