Vietnam U22 vs Malaysia U22: Dramatic battle for first place in the group.

(NLĐO) - By winning their final match in Group B of the men's football tournament at the 33rd SEA Games on December 11-12, the Vietnam U22 team will surpass Malaysia U22 and claim the top spot in the group.

After their opening match in the group stage of the men's football tournament at the 33rd SEA Games, the Vietnam U22 team has the same 3 points as Malaysia U22 but is temporarily ranked second due to a lower goal difference. The direct confrontation between the two teams at 4 PM on December 11th will determine the final group winner.

If they draw with U22 Malaysia, Coach Kim Sang-sik's team will still advance to the semi-finals as the best-performing second-placed team in the group stage. This result would allow U22 Vietnam to potentially face the host nation, U22 Thailand, in the semi-finals.

Therefore, coach Kim Sang-sik and his team are determined to win all matches against U22 Malaysia to take the top spot in Group B and open the door to the final of this tournament. Coach Kim emphasized: "All 23 players are in good physical condition and high spirits to aim for the best possible result. I always remind the players that this is not just a group stage match, but like a knockout match. Victory is a mandatory goal for U22 Vietnam."

Commenting on their opponents, the South Korean strategist said: "Malaysia is physically strong and plays a powerful attacking game. However, we have prepared thoroughly both physically and tactically. Through professional meetings and the players' diligent training, we are confident that we will achieve our goals."
