An unexpected turn came in the 76th minute. From a corner kick by Syria, the ball accidentally hit Ngoc Chien’s head and flew into the net for an own goal.
In the remaining minutes, Vietnam made a strong effort to earn an equalizer, but they failed.
By maintaining their winning streak after four matches, Syria secured their spot and progressed to the 2025 U20 Asia Cup finals.
