Thai newspaper reports Vietnam won Bronze medal at 18th Asiad
Siam Sports, a famous Thai newspaper, believes that the Vietnam Olympic team has enough scope and opportunity to bring home a historic medal for Southeast Asian football.
Vietnam Olympic team failed to create any surprises when they lost to South Korea Olympic team 1-3 in the semi-final. However, Minh Vuong's strong performance until the last minute with a beautiful consolation goal still received praise from Southeast Asian media. Siam Sports, a famous Thai newspaper, wrote an article to encourage Vietnam Olympic team today.
“Vietnam Olympic, the only representative of Southeast Asia in the semi-finals of the 18th Asian Games, lost to the Korean Olympic team. But they had a brave match. Vietnam will meet the UAE in the bronze medal match. This is an equal opponent and the opportunity is still there for Coach Park Hang Seo and his team to bring home a historic medal for Southeast Asian football.”

This is also the last match of the generation of players born in 1995 - 1996 such as Cong Phuong, Xuan Truong, Duc Huy playing at the U23 level. Therefore, the Bronze medal will be an extremely meaningful gift to say goodbye to this talented generation.
The bronze medal match for men's football at the Asian Games between Vietnam Olympic and UAE Olympic will take place at 3:00 p.m. on September 1. If the two teams are tied after 90 minutes of play, they will proceed to a penalty shootout to determine the winner, instead of extra time.
