Therefore, the "Tigers" will have to beat U22 Vietnam in the next match to keep their hopes of reaching the semi-finals alive.

Talking about the team's goal, defender Azam Azmi Murad declared: "We lost to Thailand in the previous round. So now we have to win against U22 Vietnam and U22 Singapore at any cost.

U22 Vietnam is a very strong team so we need to focus fully on this match.

If we lose focus like in the match against U22 Thailand, we can completely lose more. That is probably what we need to improve on.”
