Japan is a very strong opponent, I think the whole team tried their best even though this result is not very satisfactory. We accept this score.

Although today's result was not as we expected, the whole team proved that there are times when we can play well. I hope the Vietnamese team continues to maintain their spirit and playing style to look forward to the next matches."

With a commendable match against Japan, Hung Dung and his teammates have more confidence when entering the key match against Indonesia in the second round of Group D.
