(Live football) - U19 Vietnam takes on U19 Indonesia in the last Group A match of the 2026 Southeast Asian U19 Championship. A draw would suffice for Coach Yutaka Ikeuchi's team to progress, yet with the host side pushing for a win, this clash is expected to be both exciting and full of strategy.

U19 Vietnam and U19 Indonesia will face off in what is considered the "Group A final" of the 2026 Southeast Asian U19 Championship. After two rounds, both teams have won all their matches without conceding a goal, but U19 Vietnam currently sits above thanks to a better goal difference. That means Coach Yutaka Ikeuchi's side only needs a draw to secure a semifinal spot as group leaders.
However, U19 Indonesia certainly does not want to settle for a draw. The host team understands that without a win, they might have to wait for results from other groups to know their fate. Home advantage and fan support are expected to help Coach Nova Arianto's squad enter the match with the highest determination to claim all three points.
Over the first two matches, U19 Indonesia has shown formidable strength, scoring six goals and keeping a clean sheet. The team from the Archipelago operates an energetic 3-4-3 formation, blending local players with those of foreign heritage like Welber Jardim and Timothy Baker. Their midfield organization and wing speed are notable strengths of the home side.
Meanwhile, U19 Vietnam has also demonstrated clear progress, especially in defense after their victory over U19 Myanmar. Nevertheless, against an opponent with many players capable of creating breakthroughs, Coach Yutaka Ikeuchi's pupils will need to maintain maximum concentration. If they play to their full potential and capitalize on opportunities, U19 Vietnam can certainly achieve their goal of reaching the semifinals.
U19 Vietnam: Xuan Tin, Quoc Khanh, Minh Hoi, Viet Anh, Tan Dung, Duy Khang, Gia Hung, Van Khanh, Duc Vu, Cong Hau, Van Bach.
U19 Indonesia: Dafa Al Gasemi, Raditya Raharjo, Putu Panji, Timothy Baker, Fabio Azkairawan, Muhammad Isfandyar, Evandra Florasta, Welber Jardim, Irpan Siregar, Dimas Adi, Reno Salampessy.
