In Group B, Garuda lost painfully when they led by 1 goal but were turned around with a score of 2-1". This is also the only defeat of U22 Indonesia at this year's SEA Games.

The media in the archipelago country also expressed caution about the performance of U22 Vietnam at this year's SEA Games.

BTV Quoc Khanh apologizes to Bui Tien Dung on live broadcast

After many days of silence, VTV's BTV Quoc Khanh spoke up about his actions that were considered to hurt and disrespect goalkeeper Bui Tien Dung on live broadcast when he participated in football commentary after the match with U22 Indonesia in the group stage of SEA Games 30.

Commentator Quoc Khanh shared: “Our point of view is that when we have tried our best, there is no mistake. The saddest people are the players and it is best to apologize and if there is, try harder to contribute to the audience in the future.

So, instead of trying to explain that we did not mean to hurt goalkeeper Bui Tien Dung, we did two things, which were to try harder to serve the audience and of course, I personally apologized to goalkeeper Bui Tien Dung if I hurt him. Because of this story, we had a really heart-stopping and nervous week."

Previously, this BTV's actions received strong reactions from the audience.

However, this live apology from BTV Quoc Khanh seems not to be enough for football fans. Many people believe that the actions and words of the male BTV that hurt goalkeeper Bui Tien Dung have already happened and cannot be taken back.

Real unbeaten for 9th consecutive match

Real started the match without Eden Hazard and Gareth Bale. With many experienced players out, Benzema's resourcefulness became important for Real. The 31-year-old striker not only knows how to shoot, move, dribble and pass the ball, but also has the ability to attract opposing defenders.

Benzema shined at the right time to bring victory to Real.

In the 37th minute, he contributed greatly to the goal that relieved the pressure for Real. In front of the Espanyol defense, "number 9" calmly kept the ball in the middle and then passed it to the left, where Raphael Varane was free to shoot diagonally to open the score.
