Although losing in the penalty shootout, Park’s side should keep their heads held high, what Vietnam has shown on the pitch has proved the continuous progress of Vietnamese football, and they have built up the number one position in ASEAN football.
Comparing the performance between Vietnam and Thailand, it wrote: "Thailand has dominated Southeast Asian football for a long time, but the table has now completely turned, since Vietnamese football has been led by Park Hang-seo, there have been great leaps and bounds, through many international tournaments such as AFC U23 championship 2018, ASIAD 2018, AFF 2018 Cup and 2019 Asian Cup, Vietnamese football is gradually moving towards higher positions in the continent”.
