Myanmar fans can hardly believe their team defeated Vietnam at the Southeast Asian tournament.

U16 Myanmar secured a 2-1 victory against U16 Vietnam in the battle for third place at the Southeast Asian futsal event, causing their fans to feel a mix of joy and surprise.

Vietnam’s U16 futsal team entered the third-place playoff confidently after a 5-2 win against Myanmar in the group stage. However, the rematch in Thailand unfolded differently. Myanmar started stronger, capitalizing on chances and taking the lead early in the first half.

In the second half, Myanmar maintained a solid defense and scored again, increasing the lead to 2-0 by the 26th minute. Late efforts only allowed U16 Vietnam to reduce the deficit to 1-2 with a goal from Gia Bao in the 29th minute before ultimately accepting defeat.

This victory sparked an emotional explosion among Myanmar fans. Many supporters could not hide their excitement as the young team brought home a historic bronze medal. One enthusiastic comment read: "Really? Third place already, so happy!"

The joy was accompanied by surprise as many Myanmar fans admitted they did not expect their team to overcome Vietnam after the heavy defeat in the group stage. One emotional fan shared: "Congratulations! It feels like a dream." Faith and pride spread strongly across online forums.

Alongside the celebration, some fans looked deeper into the technical aspects, comparing the stability of the two futsal systems. One notable comment stated: "I don’t understand why Vietnamese futsal has declined so much. Both the senior and youth teams no longer play like they used to."

The festive atmosphere continued with many congratulatory and proud messages. One witty fan said: "Congrats. From now on, the opponent’s goalkeeper will probably be surrounded by our players again." Meanwhile, messages like "I’m proud of you all" and "Amazing job, young lads!" show how deeply this victory touched the fans’ emotions.

Although U16 Vietnam did not meet expectations, the tournament was a valuable opportunity for young players to gain international experience. On the other hand, Myanmar had a memorable day, and the love and pride of the fans became the most significant highlight after the match.
