Goalkeeper Quan Van Chuan deserves to be considered the hero of U23 in this match, when he blocked the shot of striker Ramadhan Sananta in the face-to-face position in extra time, then pushed the penalty kick of his colleague Ernando Ari. Van Chuan's two key shining situations helped Vietnam become the first team to successfully defend the Southeast Asian U23 championship.
Ernando could have been the hero of the match as well, as he pushed forward Nguyen Quoc Viet's tight penalty in the first half. The Indonesian goalkeeper also saved six more times in the match, frustrating the white shirt strikers. But in the penalty shootout, Ernando did not have many opportunities to show his talent because Nguyen Duc Viet, Dinh Xuan Tien, Le Nguyen Hoang, Tran Nam Hai, Luong Duy Cuong and Thai Ba Dat all shot too dangerously, making his guess right. direction also did not catch any fruit. Ernando decided to shoot in the sixth round, but the ball was not tight enough, so the Vietnamese captain leaned to the right and pushed it out.
After the match, Van Chuan also encouraged Ernando when the Indonesian goalkeeper appeared lost. And striker Sananta burst into tears after missing a precious opportunity in extra time. Vietnam claimed the debt of losing to Indonesia at the last minute of the 32nd SEA Games men's football semi-final in Cambodia, and this time teachers and students Hoang Anh Tuan were able to bring home the cup.
Coach Hoang Anh Tuan once led Vietnam to lose 0-6 to Thailand in the final of U19 Southeast Asia, but this time he enjoyed all the fun. The U23 players announced him after the victory over Indonesia in Rayong, because this is also the first international title in the 55-year-old coach's military career.
