The first team eliminated from SEA Games 33

U22 Laos became the first team to stop at the men's football event of SEA Games 33 after losing both matches against U22 Vietnam and Malaysia.

The victory helped U22 Malaysia surpass Vietnam at the SEA Games. On the afternoon of December 6, U22 Malaysia let Laos open the score but still won 4-1 in the group stage of men's football at the 33rd SEA Games.

On the afternoon of December 6, U22 Laos created a surprise in the 4th minute when they opened the score against U22 Malaysia. The scorer was Bounphaeng Xaysombath.

Laos football has shown great progress in this SEA Games. In the first match, they lost narrowly to U22 Vietnam, and in the next match, they took the lead against U22 Malaysia.

If luckier, the Lao players could even score more goals.

U22 Laos made the more experienced and classy players of U22 Malaysia confused. The captain of U22 Malaysia had to scold his teammates many times.

However, that was all they could muster. The Malaysian youth team equalised in the first half before breaking through in the second half. They scored three more goals to complete a 4-1 victory and move to the top of the table.

The U22 Laos players have good skills but their mentality is not stable. They quickly collapsed and lost their will after conceding goals. After all, they are still a young team, coming from a football background with lower development.

Tears fell down the faces of many U22 Laos players. They became the first team to be eliminated from the SEA Games men's football tournament after two consecutive losses.
