U22 Vietnam faced many disadvantages before the match

The falling into the table with 6 teams made U22 Vietnam difficult in the semi-finals. Playing one more match has eroded the physical strength and health of Vietnamese players. Not to mention that Group B is even tougher than Group A with the presence of Thailand and Indonesia, making Vietam under more pressure to achieve beneficial result. At the same time U22 Vietnam also has less than 1 day off compared to U22 Cambodia.

Besides, the force is not supporting U22 Vietnam. Right before the semi-final, coach Park Hang -seo had to receive sad news as captain Nguyen Quang Hai had to bid farewell to SEA Games 30 due to injury.
