"The Vietnam U20 team received great support from home fans at Jeonju Stadium. They had a good first half, but could not convert it into a goal.

In the 85th minute, U20 Vietnam almost scored a goal, but Nguyen Quang Hai's shot went straight into the post. In the 90+2 minute, Vuelto passed the ball from the right and Alvarez controlled it neatly before shooting accurately to raise the score to 2-0 for coach Carlos Tabora's team" - FIFA.com homepage commented.

On the FIFA Youtube channel, a fan from Mexico City commented: “Although Vietnam lost and were eliminated, they still played very well until the last minute and showed the desire and passion of the fans. Very proud of you guys in your first World Cup participation.”

Another nickname also praised U20 Vietnam: “Vietnam is standing firm between Korea, and we see you as a team with more potential than any other team at this World Cup! I see a lot of talented players in the U20 Vietnam team, and more. It is inspiring to see an exciting match between the two sides, unlike the way Japan played against Italy yesterday.”

The U20 Vietnam team lost 0-2 to U20 Honduras in a rather regrettable way and our young team officially left this year's U20 World Cup with 1 point after 3 matches in the group stage in their first time participating in the tournament. As for U20 Honduras, despite having a win, they still had to say goodbye to the tournament as they did not qualify to be in the top 4 of the 6 best third-placed teams to enter the round of 16./.
