* Score: Tien Anh 7', Manh Dung 21', 30', Van Hao 56', Huu Thang 57', Duc Chien 62'.
Coach Thach Bao Khanh arranged the starting lineup of Viettel with eight names under the age of 25, but still completely overwhelmed Binh Thuan. Despite playing five defenders with a deep formation, the visitors conceded a goal in the 7th minute. Truong Tien Anh received the ball to the left, pushed it in a beat and then cut the right leg near the penalty area to open the score for Viettel.
After that, Tien Anh twice created for Nham Manh Dung to score. In the 21st minute, he crossed the ball accurately for his teammates to control with his chest and then neatly finished to increase the gap to 2-0. In the 30th minute, the above scenario repeated, only the striker born in 2000 volleyed in the penalty area to complete the double.
Nham Manh Dung, born in 2000, is a familiar face of U23 Vietnam under coach Park Hang-seo, once called up to the national team. He was the only scorer to help Vietnam beat Thailand with a score of 1-0 in the 31st SEA Games final in May 2022.
In the second half, Viettel continued to dominate. In the 57th minute, Hoang Duc passed a long pass to tear apart Binh Thuan's defense so that the player on the field replaced Duong Van Hao to pick up the ball from the left wing, run and cut into the middle to finish the left goal. Just a minute later, Huu Thang played the same ball on the opposite wing and then shot far away from the penalty area, not giving goalkeeper Minh Duy a chance to save.
Leading 0-5, Binh Thuan still lost his force in the 61st minute. Nguyen Minh Khoi pulled Duong Van Hao's shirt close to the penalty area, prevented the situation of facing the goalkeeper and immediately received a red card directly from referee Vu Phuc. Hoan. Taking advantage of the opportunity, Duc Chien hit a powerful free-kick to score and celebrate Cristiano Ronaldo style.
Minutes later, Viettel created many opportunities, but in turn, Tran Danh Trung and Nguyen Duc Hoang Minh shot out even though there was an empty goal in front of them. In the 70th minute, Binh Thuan had the opportunity to shorten the distance, but Minh Quang handled it awkwardly in the face of goalkeeper Quang The Tai.
Besides the ticket to the second round of the National Cup 2023, this is also the second victory of coach Thach Bao Khanh's teachers and students this season. Before that, they won 2-1 Hanoi Police in the third round of V-League 2023.
