Tickets for Thailand-Vietnam match 'feverish'; Australia wins 2019 Southeast Asian U18 Championship

Defeating Malaysia, Australia won the 2019 Southeast Asian U18 Championship

With a 1-0 victory over U18 Malaysia in the final, U18 Australia became the champion of the 2019 Southeast Asian U18 tournament.

This is the 5th time Australia has won the championship at this tournament, thereby equaling Thailand's achievement.

In the first half, Australia was the team that pressed the field and created many dangerous situations, but unfortunately they did not score once.

Having conceded a goal, U18 Malaysia tried very hard to push up the squad to find a goal, but could not achieve their goal.

With a 1-0 victory, U18 Australia was crowned champion of the 2019 Southeast Asian U18 Football Championship, with runner-up position belonging to U18 Malaysia.

Meanwhile, U18 Indonesia won third place after defeating U18 Myanmar 5-0./.

Tickets for the Thailand - Vietnam match continue to be on the rise

Many Vietnamese fans were very upset when the Thai organizers opened ticket sales but could not get tickets to watch their team play Thailand at Thammasat Stadium on September 5.

The website thaiticketmajor.com announced that tickets were sold out just a few minutes after going on sale.

In another development, the Football Association of Thailand has urged fans of both teams not to buy tickets sold in front of Thammasat Stadium because of the possibility of buying fake tickets. Previously, in the opening sale on August 11, nearly 10,000 tickets were also sold out by home fans in about 15 minutes.

It is not difficult to understand why the match between Thailand and Vietnam has received much attention. This is the first official tournament match between the two teams in nearly 2 years, since coach Park Hang-seo took over, helping the red team achieve many successes. Thai people expect that new head coach Akira Nishino will help the "War Elephants" reclaim the debt they owed at the 2019 King's Cup.

Defeating Goffin, Medvedev won the Cincinnati Open 2019 championship

Daniil Medvedev has become the defending champion of the 2019 Cincinnati Open after an impressive 7-6, 6-4 victory over David Goffin.

This is also the first ATP Masters 1000 title that the 23-year-old Russian tennis player has won in his career.

This victory will certainly be a great motivation for Medvedev to confidently conquer the US Open 2019 - the last prestigious Grand Slam tournament of the year taking place on August 26 - September 8.

Meanwhile, in the women's singles, Madison Keys defeated Svetlana Kuznetsova 7-5, 7-6 to reach the highest podium of the tournament./.

List of Vietnam team to play Thailand, missing key defenders

According to the original plan, coach Park Hang Seo and the Vietnamese team will gather in early September before going to Thailand to meet the home team a few days later in the opening match of the 2022 World Cup qualifiers.

Due to the special importance of the match, VFF and VPF were forced to adjust the V-League 2019 schedule to help coach Park Hang Seo and his team solve the difficulty of preparing time for the match with Thailand.

Coach Park Hang Seo finds it difficult to take risks with many new players to replace Trong Hoang, Van Hau...

Not only that, the fact that a series of key players are still struggling because of playing too much, or have not regained their form, is also something that has given coach Park Hang Seo a headache not just a few days ago, but since returning from the King's Cup.

Looking at the Vietnam team right now, many people only see a trustworthy and powerful team. But with coach Park Hang Seo, it is clearly not the case, as he is quite hesitant with the list of players that will be announced in the next few days.
