On the evening of December 21, the Myanmar team suffered a 0-5 defeat at Viet Tri Stadium (Phu Tho Province) against the Vietnam team. This result forced coach Myo Hlanging Win and his team to accept stopping at the group stage of the 2024 ASEAN Cup when they only ranked 4th in Group B.
Speaking at a press conference after the match with the Vietnamese team, coach Myo Win said that the Myanmar players made many mistakes.
"Congratulations to the Vietnamese team for winning a ticket to the semi-finals. We had a few chances in this match. The players organized a good defense in the first half, but in the second half, we made many mistakes and the Vietnamese team scored many goals. The Vietnamese players are experienced, so we conceded many goals."
Regarding the performance of striker Nguyen Xuan Son on the Vietnamese team, coach Myo Win commented: "Xuan Son is a good striker, fast, and of high quality. The Vietnamese team really has better physical strength than Myanmar."
Coach Myo Win said that in this year's tournament, the Vietnamese team will only compete with Thailand for the championship.
"In our group, Vietnam only drew 1 match and won 3 matches. They are a strong team. Vietnam's only opponent in this tournament is Thailand. I would like to wish Vietnam good luck," coach Myo Win concluded.
