Yemen U23 coach impressed with Vietnam U23 team spirit

TPO - Thanh Nhan's goal caused U23 Yemen to end the 2026 AFC U23 Championship qualifiers with a defeat. According to coach Amin Al-Sunaini, what led to the defeat was the collective spirit, cohesion and class of U23 Vietnam.

Unable to win against U23 Vietnam, U23 Yemen must hold their breath waiting for the developments in the other groups to see if they can reach the 2026 AFC U23 Championship. Previously, the West Asian team only participated twice and missed the last 4 tournaments.

After the match, U23 Yemen coach Amin Al-Sunaini said the biggest problem leading to the defeat was the excellence of U23 Vietnam. "First of all, I congratulate U23 Vietnam on the victory and the ticket to the 2026 AFC U23 Championship. They brought a lot of difficulties to us."

According to coach Al-Sunaini, U23 Vietnam is a very strong opponent and is constantly improving with each match. "I am impressed with Mr. Kim Sang-sik's team because of their collective spirit, the players play together as a team. They do not depend on any individual," he said.

"We also had some chances, including at the end of the first half, but could not score. Anyway, I am satisfied with the performance of my students, considering what is happening at home," he said.
