to a 2-1 defeat to Vietnam at the Hsinchu County Stadium in their Group H qualifier for the Asian Football Confederation Under-19 Championship.
The visitors took the lead in the first half through goals by Truong Tien Anh and Nguyen Hong Son, before the hosts fought back in the second half when Chin Wen-yen fired a rebound into the net, but they could not find another goal.
It was like a home game for the visitors, as about 1,000 Vietnamese workers clad in red cheered for their team, while only a couple of hundred Taiwanese were in the crowd of 1,238.
In the other match in Group H yesterday, Macau defeated Laos 1-0 thanks to a second-half goal by Rogerio Sousa. [FULL STORY]
