A convincing 3-0 semifinal victory over Vietnam on Tuesday has secured China's youth squad its first ever final berth at the U23 Asian Cup, while sending the country's long-suffering soccer fans into frenzy on a night to remember.

周二，中国青年队在U23亚洲杯半决赛中以3-0的比分力克越南队，不仅首次闯入该赛事决赛，更让苦等多年的中国球迷在这一难忘之夜陷入狂欢。

Facing a surging Vietnamese side, which had cruised into the semifinals with four straight wins, the Chinese under-23 squad kicked off its first-ever match at the final-four stage of the biennial tournament with pragmatic tactics, keeping its Southeast Asian opponent at bay with solid defense in the first half at the Prince Abdullah Al Faisal Sports City Stadium in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.

面对势头正盛的越南队，中国队以四连胜之势晋级半决赛。中国U23队在沙特阿拉伯吉达市阿卜杜拉·阿尔·费萨尔王子体育场迎来了本届两年一度赛事的首次四强对决。开场后中国队采取务实战术，凭借稳固的防守在上半场成功遏制了东南亚对手的攻势。

Guided by Spanish coach Antonio Puche, Team China went into overdrive in the second half, throwing a swift one-two punch from centerback Peng Xiao's 47th-minute header and striker Xiang Yuwang's low shot in the box five minutes later to dictate the play.

在西班牙教练安东尼奥·普切的执教下，中国队下半场火力全开，凭借中后卫彭啸第47分钟的头槌破门和前锋向余望五分钟后禁区内的低射连下两城，彻底掌控了比赛节奏。

Star forward Wang Yudong's final dagger, scored in the eighth minute of stoppage time, sealed Team China's well-deserved win over Vietnam while booking an ultimate challenge against continental power Japan in its first-ever final appearance at the U23 Asian Cup.

中国队前锋王钰栋在补时阶段第八分钟打入制胜一球，锁定胜局，助中国队在U23亚洲杯决赛中战胜越南队，首次闯入决赛便将迎战亚洲劲旅日本队。

The Chinese squad had never advanced into the knockout stage at the previous five editions of the U23 tournament from 2014-24.

在2014至2024年间的五届U23亚洲杯赛事中，中国队从未晋级淘汰赛阶段。

In an earlier semifinal match, Japan outplayed its East Asian archrival South Korea 1-0 to advance into Saturday's final first.

在稍早进行的半决赛中，日本队以1-0取胜东亚宿敌韩国队，率先晋级周六的决赛。
