Vietnam, Chinese Taipei enjoy perfect starts

Hsinchu: Vietnam and Chinese Taipei found their scoring boots in the second half to kick-off their AFC U-19 Championship 2018 Qualifiers with 2-0 wins over Macau and Laos respectively at the Hsinchu County Second Stadium in Chinese Taipei on Saturday.

Le Minh Binh (pictured above) was Vietnam's hero, scoring a brace and the win is a perfect start for the Southeast Asian side in Group H as they seek an automatic spot in next year's Finals in Indonesia.

The first half was a cagey affair as Vietnam, despite controlling proceedings, found the Macau defence a hard nut to crack.
