Coach Shin Tae-yong is eager to meet U23 Vietnam in the final.

"The teams in the semi-finals are all very strong. We will play well against U23 Vietnam in the final.", Coach Shin Tae-yong expressed.

U23 Indonesia defeated U23 Thailand in the semi-finals of the 2023 Southeast Asian U23 Championship. Coach Shin Tae-yong and his team entered the game boldly, surprising the home team. In the 10th minute, Kelly Sroyer opened the scoring with a long-range shot. In the 23rd minute, the red team doubled the gap thanks to Muhammad Ferarri.

Chudit Wanpraphao's equalizer only gave a little hope to U23 Thailand before teammate Natcha Promsomboon scored an own goal, extinguishing all hope of reaching the final for coach Sritaro and his students.

"We played well against the home team. I appreciate the players' performance today.", said Mr. Shin Tae-yong.

In this match, the two teams had a number of tense collisions. The Korean coach commented: "I always emphasize that my opponents are my colleagues. This is a job so players are not allowed to play violently. However, passion is necessary in football.".

Regarding Muhammad Ferarri - who scored the second goal for U23 Indonesia, he assessed U23 Vietnam as a difficult opponent but believed he would defeat them to win the championship.

"We focus on ourselves and find out the opponent's weakness. Previously at SEA Games 32, we defeated U23 Vietnam so we are confident. Hopefully the next match will be the same.", Muhammad Ferarri said.

The final match between U23 Vietnam and U23 Indonesia will take place at 8:00 p.m. on August 26.
