With this victory, U23 Vietnam leads Group I with 3 points. On November 2, U23 Vietnam plays the final match against U23 Myanmar. Coach Park Hang-seo and his team have more days off than their opponents when U23 Myanmar faces U23 Chinese Taipei on October 30. This is also an opportunity for Coach Park to evaluate U23 Myanmar's strength more closely.
Coach Park Hang-seo said: "In my opinion, that (resting more than the opponent) has two positive and negative sides. Long rest sometimes makes us lose the feeling of playing, but otherwise, I think that observing U23 Myanmar's competition is also an advantage. However, this is not the factor that leads to winning or losing."
