Vietnam U22 reaches SEA Games 33 final: Phi Hoang shines brightly.

Trung Kien (7 points): Played steadily, making no mistakes in the match. However, the U22 Vietnam goalkeeper didn't face many difficulties as U22 Philippines created few dangerous opportunities towards the red team's goal.

Minh Phúc (7 points): Played diligently on the right wing for Vietnam U22, however, this was a match where Minh Phúc couldn't show as much as in the group stage.

Ly Duc (7 points): The U22 Vietnam center-back still played with enthusiasm, but in many situations he appeared uncertain in the match against U22 Philippines.

Hieu Minh (8 points): A good game for this center-back, successfully intercepting most of the aerial balls and preventing many attacking opportunities from the U22 Philippines.

Nhat Minh (7.5 points): The best performance by the central defender from Hai Phong Club at the SEA Games 33, as he did a good job of covering and supporting Phi Hoang from behind.

Quoc Cuong (7.5 points): He didn't play the whole match and was substituted in the 70th minute, but the performance of the player from Ho Chi Minh City FC was very good. Quoc Cuong ensured that the U22 Vietnam midfield stood firm against U22 Philippines.

Viktor Lê (7 points): He played quite hard, but in a tense, highly competitive match, the Vietnamese-born player's performance was considered adequate.

Xuan Bac (6.5 points): This midfielder had a less impressive performance compared to his teammates. Notably, his hasty and inaccurate shots seriously cost the player, once a new discovery of coach Kim Sang Sik, points.

Phi Hoang was the best player for Vietnam U22 in their victory against the Philippines U22 team.

Phi Hoang (8.5 points): Although he didn't score, the left winger for Vietnam U22 was the most outstanding player on the field, possessing speed, tackling ability, and relatively well-rounded offensive and defensive skills.

The most dangerous attacking moves for the Vietnam U22 team mostly came from crosses by Phi Hoang. One of these led to Van Thuan's late goal, securing Vietnam U22's place in the SEA Games 33 final.

Van Khang (7 points): Despite his best efforts, having to sacrifice his usual position and play out of his comfort zone prevented the U22 Vietnam captain from fully showcasing his abilities.

Dinh Bac (8 points): Continued to be a major highlight in the U22 Vietnam attack with his excellent independent play. However, once again, the player from Nghe An province also caused controversy with many overly individualistic plays, thus not receiving the highest score as in the previous two matches.

Thanh Nhàn (8 points): A positive point for the U22 Vietnam striker was the "final" goal that helped his team reach the final. For the rest of the match, with almost a full half on the field, Thanh Nhàn didn't play as well as expected.

Van Thuan (8 points): Similar to Thanh Nhan, since coming on as a substitute for Van Khang, the player from Thanh Hoa FC has not performed particularly well. However, his last-minute goal helped Van Thuan be among the high-scoring players for the Vietnam U22 team.
