It is worth noting that the 3-1 victory of U22 Vietnam over Singapore is identical to the score that U22 Thailand had over the young team from the Lion Island 3 days ago. This detail is quite important in case the two teams U22 Vietnam and Thailand have the same points after the group stage, need to compare the sub-indexes to rank.

The Daily News of the Land of Golden Pagodas shared: "The Golden Stars (as the international media calls the Vietnamese teams) won their second consecutive victory after defeating U22 Singapore."

"U22 Vietnam beat Singapore with a score of 3-1, similar to what the War Elephants (nickname of the Thai team) did in the men's football event of the 32nd SEA Games" - Daily News added.

According to this newspaper, U22 Vietnam had a fairly easy victory over U22 Singapore, because we dominated the entire match, and also had the lead in the first half of the match.

"In contrast to U22 Vietnam, which had its second consecutive victory, after a 2-0 win over Laos a few days ago, Singapore suffered its second consecutive loss, with a score of 1-3, similar to the score they lost to U22 Thailand" - the newspaper of the Land of the Golden Temple informed more about the situation in Group B of the men's football content.
