JAKARTA - The coach of the Indonesian U-19 national team, Shin Tae-yong, admitted that his squad's finishing was poor when they played against Vietnam in the 2022 AFF U-19 Cup Group A match at the Patriot Candrabhaga Stadium, Bekasi, Saturday night.

Shin also regretted the match against Vietnam with a draw. In fact, a draw was the worst scenario he imagined before the match.
"Before the match, I thought about winning. A draw is the worst case scenario. However, we couldn't win. It's a pity. However, I think the performance of the players is good because they have worked hard," said the South Korean national team coach at the 2018 World Cup. as quoted by Antara.
The midfielder for the Indonesian U-19 national team, Marselino Ferdinand, also admitted that he was disappointed with the draw against Vietnam.
However, the 17-year-old footballer did not want to linger in sadness.
"We failed to win. Hopefully in the next match we can be more leverage," said Marselino.
After the draw, Indonesia is in third place in Group A of the 2022 AFF U-19 Cup, under the leadership of Myanmar and second in Thailand.
Vietnam perched in fourth position, the Philippines fifth and Brunei Darussalam as caretaker.
