Pre-match information
The final match of the 33rd SEA Games men's football will be a match between U22 Vietnam and U22 Thailand. This is a highly anticipated match in this year's tournament.
Previously, in the semi-finals, U22 Vietnam showed their mettle when defeating U22 Philippines with a score of 2-0. After nearly 90 minutes of stagnation, the turning point came in the final minutes of the match when Le Van Thuan opened the score from a favorable cross from Phi Hoang. Just a few minutes later, Thanh Nhan fired a dangerous cross-angle shot to seal the victory for the home team.
On the other side, U22 Thailand faced many difficulties against U22 Malaysia. Although the opponent had to play with one less player early after receiving a red card, the "War Elephants" could only score one goal to end the match with a result of 1-0.
The upcoming encounter will be meaningful as the two teams meet again in the gold medal match, similar to the SEA Games held in Vietnam 3 years ago. At that time, U22 Vietnam under coach Park Hang-seo won the championship.
At the 33rd SEA Games, U22 Vietnam is showing great determination with the high performance of many key players such as Dinh Bac, Van Khang, Thai Son or Trung Kien.
