This match between Yemen U23 and Vietnam U23 was a tight contest with Vietnam U23 emerging victorious by a slim margin of 1-0 during the U23 AFC Asian Cup on September 9th, 2023. The lone goal was scored in the second half at 1 hour, 23 minutes, and 56 seconds, making Vietnam's statistical edge in offensive opportunities ultimately decisive in securing the win.

For the game data, we notice an intriguing vital difference: Vietnam U23 had a significant advantage in corner kicks with 9 compared to Yemen U23's 3. This shows that Vietnam pushed the ball into Yemen's defensive third far more frequently, forcing Yemen to deflect it behind their goal line, hinting at a generally higher level of offensive pressure from Vietnam.

In terms of disciplinary data, both teams managed to stay fairly level-headed and focused, with both home and away teams receiving only 1 yellow card each. Yemen U23's yellow card came later in the match, while Vietnam was cautioned earlier on. No red cards were recorded for either team, indicating a game mostly devoid of severe disciplinary infractions.

Observers should note the small but potentially influential difference in fouls. Yemen U23 committed 6, slightly more than Vietnam U23's five fouls. While not a dramatic difference, this may have created slight advantages in possession and field position for Vietnam.

The offside data reveals that it was only Yemen U23 who seemed to be caught in offside once, suggesting a tad aggressive but mistimed attacking play from their end. In contract, Vietnam managed to stay wary of the opposition’s defensive line, maintaining zero offsides. This discipline may indeed have been a factor in keeping their attacking moves efficient and ultimately fruitful.

Regarding goalkeeping and defensive performance, no explicit stats are provided for saves or shots on and off target. However, the low scoring nature of the match, with Vietnam securing the only goal of the match, hints at the goalkeepers and defenses' strength on both sides.

In conclusion, Vietnam U23 managed to convert their aggressive attacking performance, evidenced by more corner kicks, into the only goal of the match. Lower foul numbers and complete avoidance of offsides further helped position Vietnam as the better side in this U23 AFC Asian Cup match-up.
