Many Southeast Asian newspapers have praised the Vietnamese team after their victory over Palestine. Bola.Okezone (Indonesia) emphasized: "The Vietnamese team dominated and won convincingly against Palestine at Thien Truong Stadium.
The Palestinian team could only hold out in the first half, before collapsing in the second half to the strength of the Vietnamese team. In this match, the "Golden Dragons" passed the ball very well. The high-damage passes helped them score two goals thanks to Tuan Hai and Cong Phuong.
Bola (Indonesia) commented: "In terms of FIFA rankings, the strength of the Vietnamese and Palestinian teams is almost equal. The Vietnamese team is ranked 95th, one place higher than its opponent.

However, the reality on the field showed that the Vietnamese team was far superior to their opponents. They took the initiative and scored two goals in the first half. The victory over Palestine affirmed the Vietnamese team's position as number one in Southeast Asia.
They are far superior to the Indonesian team. In June, coach Shin Tae Yong's team struggled to draw 0-0 with Palestine. This shows that the Indonesian team needs to make a lot of effort to catch up with the Vietnamese team."
Ball Thai (Thailand) admitted that the Vietnamese team was much better than Palestine in the friendly match at Thien Truong Stadium. They said that the challenge will only come to the "Golden Dragons" in the three away friendly matches against China, Uzbekistan (two matches in Xi'an, China) and South Korea (in Jeonju, South Korea).

SNE Sports (Malaysia) wrote: "Two consecutive injuries in the first half affected the Vietnamese team. However, they always maintained good connection between the trio Quang Hai, Hung Dung and Tuan Anh in the midfield area, causing Palestine to not have many opportunities.
The breakthrough came when Cong Phuong entered the field. The Vietnamese team showed a more lethal style of play. They exploited gaps in Palestine's defense to score two consecutive goals.
The Vietnam team has won three consecutive matches under coach Troussier. They are making steady progress."
