Indonesian fans unanimously chant the name of U19 Vietnam after losing the top spot.

By winning just 3-0 over Timor Leste, U19 Indonesia surrendered the top position to U19 Vietnam following two matchdays.

U19 Indonesia achieved a 3-0 victory over U19 Timor Leste. in a match heavily impacted by bad weather. Prolonged heavy rain and disruptions significantly affected the technical quality.

Earlier, U19 Vietnam defeated U19 Myanmar 5-0, thereby gaining a superior goal difference.

After the match, many Indonesian fans expressed regret on football forums. Numerous comments suggested the team generated enough pressure to score more but lacked sharpness in crucial moments. Some felt a 3-0 win was insufficient, as the competition with U19 Vietnam is now measured by goals and goal difference.

Many fans also worry that Indonesia might pay the price for not converting chances against Timor Leste. In their view, the inferior goal difference makes it almost mandatory for the team to beat U19 Vietnam in the final round to claim the group lead.

With U19 Vietnam only needing a favorable result to maintain their edge, Indonesia will face greater psychological pressure in the decisive match.

Although the scoreline fell short of expectations, the U19 Indonesia players are still recognized for their fighting spirit and wholehearted effort toward the goal of advancing.
