This result accurately reflects the situation of the match. The Vietnamese team controlled the match well and knew how to create breakthroughs from reserve players such as Cong Phuong and Van Toan. However, the Palestinian press expressed regret after this match. Wafa newspaper wrote: "The bitter defeat of the Palestinian team in the friendly match with the Vietnamese team". This newspaper commented: "The Palestinian team suffered a defeat against the Vietnamese team by two unexpected goals. This is the second consecutive defeat of the Palestinian team. A few days ago, coach Makram Daboub's team fell 1-2 to Oman. In fact, Palestine played quite well in the first half against the Vietnamese team. The team missed at least one good chance. However, the second half witnessed Palestine's inexplicable decline. Coach Makram Daboub's team suddenly played poorly and continuously let the Vietnamese team score two goals".

Safa newspaper is worried about the Palestinian team in the context of the Asian Cup starting in a few months. The author admitted: "In just a few days, Palestine has suffered two consecutive defeats against Oman and the Vietnamese team. These defeats have raised alarm bells for the Palestinian team in the context of the 2023 Asian Cup starting in just a few months. Boosting the team's morale is very necessary at this time. In addition, the Palestinian Football Association may consider firing coach Makram Daboub. The team needs a new coach and a new breath of life. Coach Makram Daboub does not bring confidence to the fans. The team's performance is getting worse. In particular, he cannot fix the weaknesses in defense. The Vietnamese team only needed two situations to make Palestine pick the ball out of the net twice."

The Arab newspaper Kooora said that Palestine wasted opportunities and paid the price in the match against the Vietnamese team. The newspaper wrote: "The Vietnamese team won their first victory in history when meeting Palestine. In the first half, Palestine could not take advantage of the opportunity to score. Striker Ahmed Abu Alfa wasted more than one chance to score against the Vietnamese team. In the second half, Palestine's physical strength decreased significantly. Coach Troussier's team took advantage of this advantage to score two goals against Palestine." The match against Palestine was the only friendly match of the Vietnamese team in September. In October, Coach Troussier's team will play three matches against China (October 10), Uzbekistan (October 13) and South Korea (October 17).
