After the emotional victory against South Korea U23, Nguyen Dinh Bac didn't talk about the glory but chose to mention the regret, gratitude, and pride he felt wearing the Vietnam U23 jersey.

As emotions gradually subsided after the third-place match of the 2026 AFC U23 Asian Championship, Nguyen Dinh Bac shared some heartfelt words that touched the hearts of fans.

Vietnam U23 defeated South Korea U23 7-6 on penalties after a 2-2 draw in 120 minutes, concluding the tournament with a victory full of composure and emotion.

Dinh Bac was the central figure of the match, providing an assist for Quoc Viet to open the scoring and a superb free-kick to make it 2-1.

In tense matches, the aggressiveness and unwavering spirit of the striker wearing the number 7 jersey became a crucial pillar of support for the entire team.

However, that moment of brilliance was accompanied by regret when Dinh Bac received a direct red card in the 86th minute, forcing him to leave the field early and leaving the Vietnam U23 team to defend with 10 men for the remainder of the match.
