Coach Park Hang-seo opened the post-match press conference: “Football is a very difficult sport, but we won in the last minutes. We will try harder in the final group stage match against Thailand.”

Responding to the competition schedule at the SEA Games, the Korean coach said: "In my career, I have never worked in a tournament with such a dense competition schedule, one match every 2 days like the SEA Games."

In the first half, U22 Vietnam faced many difficulties with the opponent's playing style. Coach Park said: "The first half was very difficult for us. There were many problems that could not be solved in 45 minutes. I told the players to stay calm. We will solve the problems in the second half."

Regarding Quang Hai's injury, Coach Park Hang-seo said he would get further updates from the doctors. Explaining why Tien Dung was on the bench, Coach Park affirmed that it was not because Tien Dung made a mistake in the previous match. Van Toan started because this goalkeeper has good ability to defend against high balls.

Meanwhile, coach Fandi Ahmad of U22 Singapore was impressed by the strength of U22 Vietnam, he said: "Of course I regret losing the match. U22 Vietnam is a strong opponent with many quality players. However, we played well today. We created opportunities but could not take advantage of them."

The coach also admitted that this was a match in which he and his players were looking for a draw but failed. He shared: “This is our best match since the beginning of the 30th SEA Games. I am happy with the players' performance. They played well. I hope the players continue to show themselves. In this match, we changed some positions because the players had limitations. Tactically, we know what to do."

"The Vietnamese players are very fast. We tried to squeeze them in, not giving them much space to attack by pushing the ball far from the goal. But in the end we still conceded a goal. In fact, Vietnam is the stronger team," coach Fandi Ahmad affirmed.
