Coach Park Hang-seo is right again

Ha Duc Chinh becomes a hero
It must be said that in this match, not only Duc Chinh but also the entire U22 Vietnam attack did not perform as expected. The lack of a chance to advance made U22 Singapore play very comfortably mentally and with a style of play similar to the way Indonesia made it difficult for coach Park Hang-seo and his team in the previous match, plus Quang Hai had to leave the field early, Duc Chinh and his teammates in the attack had a lot of difficulty creating scoring opportunities.

Singapore's Unexpected Progress
No longer a weak face, "The Lions" performed an annoying style of play and caused U22 Vietnam to encounter many difficulties. Using a pressing style of play right from the opponent's field, U22 Singapore made it impossible for Coach Park Hang-seo's students to demonstrate their original intended style of play. This also explains why in the first 45 minutes of the first half, Duc Chinh and his teammates could not create any truly remarkable opportunities towards the goal of U22 Singapore.
