U23 Vietnam was held to a draw by U23 Philippines.

In fact, the opportunity for Coach Park Hang-seo’s army to reach the semi-finals is still very open, when in the last 2 matches, U23 Vietnam only had to meet U23 Myanmar and U23 East Timor. However, witnessing U23 Vietnam drop the score, Thai fans are still extremely gloating.

On Southeast Asian football forums, fans of the Golden Temple said that U23 Vietnam drew with Philippines U23 because they were afraid of facing Thailand U23 in the semi-finals. “Vietnam U23 is afraid to meet Thailand in the semi-finals”, “Vietnamese fans always think that: Thailand wins by buying referees. If Elephants win and lose, it’s because they can’t buy black kings”, the account has a name. Greetha Plan scoffed.

Before that, U23 Thailand had to receive an unfortunate defeat against U23 Malaysia with a score of 1-2 at Thien Truong Stadium. Coach Mano Polking’s army was empty-handed on the opening day due to lack of players for most of the match.
