Blues striker Ben Folami was on target as Australia’s U19s beat Vietnam 2-1 in their second group game at the AFC U19 Championship in Indonesia this morning.

Folami, who was winning his second cap having started the 1-1 draw with South Korea on Friday, netted his first goal for the Young Socceroos in the 76th minute to give his side a 2-0 lead, Newcastle Jets’ Angus Thurgate having opened the scoring six minutes before the break.

The Vietnamese pulled one back five minutes before the end but the Australians held on for the win.

Blocker123 added 18:41 - Oct 22 How come our young talent are doing well as a team on all levels , individually being sort after, doing well internationally, but still can't get still have to come behind under performing div 1 and 2 level players who are not producing any results worth putting faith in. First neg comment this season. Just frustrated. Albert Einstein is broadly credited with exclaiming “The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, but expecting different results”. Maybe PH should come out and say something like..... I thought to come in and change everything, and I've got it wrong. Give me time, I am going to rip it up again and feed club up from inside, it's going to be painful, but in 18 months time with youngsters having the experience we are going to be fantastic. I'd be with him on that. Just a ramble, that's all.☺
