Myanmar lost 0-5 to Vietnam in the final round of Group B of the ASEAN Cup 2024 on the evening of December 21 at Viet Tri Stadium. At the post-match press conference, coach Myo Hlaing Win congratulated the Vietnamese team on their victory and their ticket to the semi-finals of the ASEAN Cup 2024 as group winners. He said: "We defended well in the first half. But we made mistakes right at the beginning of the second half, leading to many goals conceded later. The Vietnamese team has many experienced players. Among them, player Nguyen Xuan Son has speed and technique." Naturalized striker Nguyen Xuan Son scored a double and had two assists in the big win of the Vietnamese team. Evaluating this Brazilian-born striker, coach Myo Hlaing Win said: "I think he is very good." "On the contrary, the physical strength of Myanmar players decreased in the second half, so they could not maintain the formation distance and the marking. This led to the inability to mark Xuan Son and concede a goal," he added. Answering the question: "How do you rate the championship chances of the Vietnamese team?", coach Myo Hlaing Win said: "In the Myanmar group, I see that the Vietnamese team has almost all the victories, only drawing the match against the Philippines. In my opinion, in this year's tournament, only Thailand is the opponent of the Vietnamese team in the championship race. I would like to send my best wishes to Mr. Kim Sang Sik's team."
