Su Yu-Hsuan’s first half header put Chinese Taipei in the driver’s seat and despite Vietnam attempting to fight back in the second half and losing their goalscorer and Pan Yen-Hsin to injury, the East Asian side held on for the three points.
Having opted for a five-strong defence in the 2-0 defeat to Japan on Matchday One, Prasobchoke went for a more attacking line-up with Su leading the line and the tactical change paid off.

“It was a really tough game and there is no doubt Vietnam are a quality side as they featured in the previous edition of the FIFA World Cup,” said Prasobchoke.
“But our team did well today. The weather did not bother us as we were more concerned about our performance."

“We earned our first three points in this tournament and I want to thank the players, they fully deserve this win. I also want to share my joy with the people of Chinese Taipei and celebrate this victory together.”
While the triumph means Chinese Taipei will advance to the next stage with victory against India on Tuesday, Vietnam are also still in the race but will have to defeat Japan.

“Clearly, my team didn’t play well today. Even though the opponents were tired, we lost concentration for a moment and conceded a goal,” said head coach Mai Duc Chung. “The weather affected our physical strength and concentration. These contributed to poor teamwork and inaccurate passing.
“There were difficult situations on the field but we can say that we had too many incorrect passes. Players like Nguyen Thị Thanh Nha, Ngan Thi Van Su and Dương Thị Van were heavily affected by the weather and didn’t have their full physical strength today.
“We must try our best in every match. If we don’t give our full effort we cannot achieve the best results.”
