“U22 Thailand and U22 Vietnam had a tough game. We see that in the match. U22 Thailand didn’t have a good start in the tournament but we improved after each game. However, our effort could not be paid off. I am responsible for this result,” Nishino told reporters.

“Thailand U22 squad will be different from the AFC U23 Championship 2020 finals. I hope this defeat will help the players draw experience for the upcoming important tournament."

"I respect the referee's decision about the penalty situation. But I think that it was a mistake to give Vietnam the second chance.”
