"I don't know who the strikers of U23 Vietnam are. My teammates and I will carefully analyze our opponents in the final match. In this decisive match, if we have to take penalties, the chance is 50-50, but I want to beat them within 90 minutes. I believe U23 Indonesia can do that," said U23 Indonesia goalkeeper Muhammad Ardiansyah.

Previously, in the semi-final match, goalkeeper Muhammad Ardiansyah contributed to help U23 Indonesia beat U23 Thailand after a lucky penalty shootout. This goalkeeper showed great confidence when facing the defending champion U23 Vietnam in the final match of the tournament.

Regarding the pressure of having to play on Indonesia's field, Van Khang said: "Playing in front of tens of thousands of Indonesian fans is definitely a big challenge, but that motivates us to show our mettle. U23 Vietnam prepared very well and entered the final match with the greatest confidence."

The final match between U23 Vietnam and U23 Indonesia will take place at 8:00 p.m. on July 29 at Gelora Bung Karno Stadium, Jakarta. Due to the tense nature of the match, the Organizing Committee decided to use VAR to ensure the highest standards of refereeing and fair-play.
