00:00And the Koreans in the predominantly black strip.
00:09So to a burst of fireworks, the Koreans get us underway, a final chance to impress at this
00:14AFC under 23 Asian Cup and a place on the podium, the prize for the winners.
00:23The two teams have had a few days to try and shrug off that disappointment of losing in the semis
00:33and get themselves regrouped ahead of this still very important game.
00:39And this is Jong Jae Sang who is looking to set up the opening attack of the game.
00:45Bursting down the left is Kim Do Hyun.
00:48And he has support from Bae Hyun So who's got inside the penalty area.
00:52And there was a little bit of contact with Bao and Kun.
00:56Penalty appeals firmly waved away by Abdullah Jamali.
01:05And Vietnam with a bit of time here.
01:07And then a foul on Dwen Kwok Viet.
01:19Shove by Shin Min Ha.
01:29Driving forward Jang Sok Hwan on the left.
01:32It's Kim Do Hyun.
01:35Getting around the full back.
01:36Oh that was a difficult one.
01:38And brave goalkeeping from Kao Ban Bin.
01:44Where the traffic arriving on both sides of the equation.
01:51And Kao Ban Bin has been flattened in that little altercation.
01:55But a good run down the left again by Kim Do Hyun.
01:58That's two or three times he's got away from Bao and Kun.
02:04Found room for the cross.
02:06And then in the end I think there was a bit of friendly fire.
02:09Off the defender for the goalkeeper.
02:11The knee of Nguyen Nhat Min just catching the back of the goalkeeper's head.
02:27He certainly won't want to leave the stage.
02:29Kao Ban Bin and that's why he's quickly up to his feet again.
02:34Goalkeeper from Song Lam Nae An.
02:36He along with Pham Din Hai the third choice keeper were the only two players.
02:43And the chase is on.
02:45The Nippy.
02:47Nguyen Din Bak.
02:48They're ahead.
02:50Or Joe Hyunte.
02:52Nobody really in the box.
02:53Big chance here.
02:54What a finish that is.
02:56That is some goal from Nguyen Quoc Viet.
02:59And Vietnam hit the front just shy of the half hour mark.
03:05And it was the pace of their captain Nguyen Din Bak.
03:09That did the damage down the left.
03:11And when he looked for support.
03:13There was Nguyen Quoc Viet.
03:16And it was a thumping finish.
03:18By the Vietnamese number nine.
03:22First blood to the Golden Star Warriors.
03:25In the third, fourth place playoff.
03:27And that is a cracking finish.
03:33And it all came about from a Korean attack.
03:36That was broken down by Nguyen Duk An.
03:38And the ball forward found the pacey Nguyen Din Bak.
03:45And here he looks for support.
03:47And finds it with a very cute cut back.
03:49And look at that for a finish.
03:53From Nguyen Quoc Viet.
03:57Hwang Jai Yun no chance in the Korean goal.
03:59And the Vietnamese supporters in the stands.
04:09In ecstasy.
04:22That is his first goal of this tournament.
04:24Rather befitting of his nickname.
04:34He walks away rather gingerly.
04:37And with just over five minutes of the first half remaining.
04:40The Koreans with a set piece opportunity.
04:46Before that, Abdullah Jamali wants a word.
04:48With Jong Jae Sang.
04:50And Val An-kun.
04:54Not sure what language they're speaking.
04:57Clearly, referee's got his points across.
04:59In readiness for the free kick.
05:01Goalkeeper came a long way.
05:03Not sure he got a piece of the ball.
05:04And in the end, the referee agrees.
05:06Says it came off Jo Hyun Tae.
05:08Maybe the second touch was off Kauri.
05:09Kauri Van Bin.
05:10Difficult to tell from that angle.
05:12The Koreans certainly felt there was a subsequent touch.
05:15Crucially, the referee did not.
05:17Goal But, for 50!
05:18Goal!
05:19Goal!
05:21Goal!
05:22Goal!
05:23Goal!
05:24Goal Masur.
05:26Goal but not no other jeste.
05:27Goal士 Manali.
05:28Goal!
05:29Think Goal!
05:31Goal!
05:32Goal!
05:34Goal!
05:35Goal!
05:36Goal!
05:37Goal!

06:10Yeah, he's on the floor!
06:14Yeah, yeah, yeah!
06:15Yeah, yeah!
06:16Oh!
06:17Oh!
06:23Hey! Hey!
06:25Bye!
06:40Yeah!
07:04Come off the head of Nguyen Tai Kuo Kun
07:06in the wrong direction.
07:08Hold on! Hold on!
07:11That's good tracking back from Nguyen Din Bak.
07:19Check of the watch from Abdullah Jamali, our Kuwaiti referee.
07:29That's all smiles in the Vietnamese section.
07:31And that is half-time. A fascinating opening 45. Nguyen Kuwaiti with the only goal that came on the half-hour mark.
07:44Fed by Nguyen Din Bak. A wonderful finish.
07:47At the other end, Kang Min Jun forced one good save out of Kao Ban Bin.
07:52And the Koreans thought they had a penalty on 34 minutes when Jung Sung Bae went down in the box.
07:58The referee initially pointing to the penalty spot.
08:01But that was overturned by VAR.
08:04And Vietnam, remember, have never beaten Nguyen and Japan.
08:08So far for the bronze medal, it's Vietnam, but still some work to do.
08:22Up but not away.
08:23Still there for Kim Do-hyun.
08:28And at the end, the shot is in!
08:31That is a fine finish by Kim Tae-won.
08:35Something out of nothing for the Koreans.
08:40And the substitute pounced on the loose ball and drove it into the far corner.
08:47Past the despairing dive of Kao Ban Bin.
08:53It was up but not away off the head of Nguyen, Nguyen.
08:56And when it eventually broke for Kim Tae-won.
09:03His finish was sure into the bottom corner.
09:06And we're all tied up at 1-1.
09:17That's his second goal of this AFC under-23 Asian Cup 2026
09:23after scoring against Lebanon in the group stage.
09:29And just at the point where you fancied they might be running out of ideas, the Koreans.
09:32Here's a chance at the other end.
09:35And that's going to be a free kick for the foul.
09:38By Lee Chan-uk on Nguyen Tai Kuo-kun.
09:43And a chance for the Vietnamese to strike back immediately.
09:53But he's the man of the moment for the Korean Republic.
09:57It's going to be Nguyen Din back.
10:05And he's found the gap and found the corner.
10:08And Vietnam are back in front.
10:11Just a minute or so after the Korean Republic equalised.
10:16It's Nguyen Din back.
10:18The captain who strikes for Vietnam.
10:21And it's a goal that will give him at least a share of the golden boots.
10:35His fourth goal of the tournament.
10:40Maybe the keeper saw it late.
10:42Maybe it took a slight touch off the wall.
10:51But he wheels away in celebration.
10:55And the Koreans cannot believe it.
10:57A little nod of approval from those in the stands.
11:17As the Korean Republic are concerned.
11:21One last chance maybe.
11:22chance maybe. Drops here and it's in they've done it
11:29maybe with the last kick of the game or certainly last attack Shin Min Ha
11:37who scores the winner in the quarter-final against Australia has maybe
11:43set this game into extra time with a last gasp equaliser. The Koreans have
11:52thrown everything by the kitchen sink at the Vietnamese defense and finally they
11:58crack. The ball dropped here to Shin Min Ha and he used his strength to leverage
12:03position and swept the ball into the bottom corner and we're all tied up at
12:122-2. There might just be a shout for Ham Ball against the Korean defender. Vietnam
12:20can't believe it. The Koreans jubilance off the bench in celebration
12:34into the eighth minute of stoppage time. Could the Koreans go on and win it? That
12:39would be an unlikely scenario. Sent into the box by Lee Gon He. Get it too deep.
12:44They've had so many of those.
12:56Denied at the death Vietnam.
13:01And is there more drama to come? Here's the goal scorer. Lee Gon He with a touch. Lee Gon He again. They're queuing up. Waiting for the delivery into the box. And the referee says that will do. And we will need extra time and possibly penalties to decide. Third and the referee says that will do. And we will need extra time and possibly penalties to decide. Third and the referee says that will do.
