Vietnam joined the match with a strong squad and had a lot of chances to score, while their Palestinian opponents demonstrated a tight defence and quick counterattack.
The match was a warm-up for the Vietnamese team before they move to Indonesia for the 2023 Asian Football Confederation (AFC) U20 qualifiers in less than two weeks ahead.
Vietnam will play in Group F alongside Hong Kong (China), Timor Leste and hosts Indonesia. Palestine will be in Group C with Japan, Yemen, Laos and Guam.
Most of the U20 Vietnamese players are from the U19 team that triumphed at the 2022 International Thanh Nien (Youth) Newspaper Cup after a series of victories against Myanmar, Thailand and Malaysia.
