Vietnam beat Hong Kong 3-1 in their first Group G match, East zone, of the Asian Football Confederation U-19 Championship qualifier on September 28 in Myanmar.
Striker Ha Duc Chinh scored a double while Nguyen Tien Linh scored the third goal for the Vietnamese side.
Ho Shing Yuen Matthew netted the only goal for Hong Kong.
Vietnam showed their strength to set the pace of the game from the beginning.
Chinh opened the score just eight minutes from the start with a straight shot.
The opener shook up both the sides, but while Vietnamese striker failed to score another goal, Hong Kong found the leveller near the interval.
Vietnamese coach Hoang Anh Tuan spoke a lot to his players during the break. It seemed to have an electrifying effect on Vietnam in the second half.
Linh pushed Vietnam ahead just three minutes after the game resumed.
And Chinh let Hong Kong's keeper rest for 10 minutes before he completed his double with a shot from a narrow angle.
Hong Kong had their chance for a second goal when they were given a penalty after defender Duong Van Hao committed a foul in the box.
However, goalie Nguyen Thanh Tuan did his job very well, successfully protecting the net.
Hao received a red card and will be side-lined in the next game against Brunei on September 25.
"My players were not in good spirits as it was the opening match. Furthermore, they were too eager to score, so their kicks were not accurate," coach Tuan said at the post-match conference.
Tuan hoped that things would be better in the next few days.
