China PR U23 vs Vietnam U23

China U23 edged past Vietnam U23 1-0 in the final round of the CFA Team China 2026 friendly tournament in Xi'an, but the victory was not enough to claim the title on home soil. Du Yuezheng produced the moment of quality in the 39th minute, unleashing a spectacular long-range strike that curled over goalkeeper Cao Van Binh and into the net. Mao Weijie had earlier rattled the crossbar in the 33rd minute as China piled on the pressure. Vietnam dug in defensively and Cao Van Binh pulled off a string of saves to keep the deficit to one. Dac Duong squandered the visitors' best chance on the counter in the 70th minute, blazing his shot off target. Despite the win, China U23 finished second in the tournament on goal difference behind North Korea U23, who took the trophy with five points. Vietnam U23 ended bottom of the four-team standings with just a single point from three matches.
