After the 1-2 defeat against Vietnam in Viet Tri, the Thai press said that things were not over yet for the "war elephants" and "See you again Vietnam in Rajamangala" to take revenge.

Just a few minutes after the first leg of the 2024 ASEAN Cup final between Vietnam and Thailand ended, Matichon newspaper headlined "Thailand lost 1-2 to Vietnam in the first leg. See you again at Rajamangala!". In the article, the author commented: "Vietnam was not superior to Thailand even though they played at home at Viet Tri Stadium. But the brilliance of naturalized striker Xuan Son helped them score 2 goals". Thai online newspaper Sanook also had an article titled: "Thailand lost 1-2 to Vietnam in the first match of the 2024 ASEAN Cup , let's talk again in three days!". Thailand's leading sports newspaper Siam Sports appeared stronger with the headline on the front page: "The Thai team failed to catch up and was massacred by Vietnam in the first leg of the final, but hope is still full in the second leg". The official Facebook page of the Thai team also expressed condolences for the defeat of the "war elephants", and called on fans to come to Rajamangala Stadium to "fuel" the home team's comeback in the second leg of the final.

Meanwhile, many Thai football experts also praised the impressive performance of striker Nguyen Xuan Son. The Southeast Asian football forum ASEAN Football posted a caption with the content: "He is Son. Unstoppable". Perhaps ASEAN Football wanted to "tease" Thai star Chalermsak Aukkee. Because before this final match, Chalermsak had boldly declared that he did not know who Xuan Son was and affirmed that central defender Jonathan Khemdee would "kill" Xuan Son. But in this match, Xuan Son alone made Chalermsak and Jonathan Khemdee both struggle but still could not stop him.
