Life University's player No. 19 shared: "I feel very happy that the team won today, even though the morning weather was very sunny and hot. This is an unfamiliar match time for us who are used to playing in the afternoon, so the players' health was affected quite a bit.

However, the whole team tried their best and did not give up even though they were two goals behind in the first half. I would like to dedicate this victory to the Cambodian fans and my beloved family who are following my every step back home."

The Life University striker shared the secret to the spectacular comeback: "After the first half, we sat down together, encouraged each other and adjusted our playing style. We understood that only by uniting and playing for each other could we create miracles. And then, that effort was rewarded when I scored the equalizer.

Football is like that, full of emotions and surprises. But the most beautiful thing is when we fight together, overcome ourselves and bring pride to the school, to our homeland."
