Dinh Bac, the hot boy of Vietnam's U22 team, caused Malaysia's defeat and received praise from coach Kim Sang-sik.

Relive the brilliant performance of Nguyen Dinh Bac – who played a major role in two goals, helping U22 Vietnam easily overcome U22 Malaysia and secure a place in the semi-finals of the SEA Games 33 .

The final group stage match of the men's football tournament at the 33rd SEA Games between Vietnam U22 and Malaysia U22 at the Rajamangala Stadium on the afternoon of December 11th saw one player stand out above all others: Nguyen Dinh Bac. Although he didn't score directly, the 2004-born player became the center of attention thanks to his impressive performance, which was both skillful and full of fighting spirit.

With his handsome face and confident demeanor, Dinh Bac always attracts attention whenever he appears on the field. But what truly captivates the audience is his intelligent ball handling, creative playing style, and effectiveness in every situation. In the crucial match that decided the ticket to the semi-finals, he left a strong impression with two perfectly placed assists, helping the U22 Vietnam team secure a convincing victory.

In the 11th minute, Vietnam U22 were awarded a corner kick. From the set piece, Dinh Bac showed initiative by repeatedly calling out to his teammates, giving precise signals, and quickly exchanging words with Phi Hoang before delivering a well-placed cross. The cross followed the training script perfectly, creating an opportunity for Hieu Minh to leap and head the ball into the net, opening the scoring. The goal was executed "textbook," exactly as instructed in the tactical plan that coach Kim Sang-sik had outlined during the 24-hour training session before the match.

Not stopping there, Dinh Bac continued to demonstrate his class with a second assist. From the left flank, he skillfully used his left foot to deliver a perfect cross, allowing Minh Phuc to easily tap the ball into the empty net, doubling the lead. Both times U22 Vietnam scored, this talented young player bore the unmistakable mark of his contribution.

When Khuat Van Khang left the field, Dinh Bac was given the captain's armband – and he did not disappoint the fans. Wearing the captain's armband, he played with even more confidence. His skillful ball control and tricky dribbling constantly troubled the U22 Malaysia defense. Dinh Bac also participated in strong pressing, fiercely contested for the ball, and supported his teammates in increasing the tempo of the game. It was this dynamism that helped U22 Vietnam completely dominate the match for the entire 90 minutes.

After the match, at the press conference, Dinh Bac expressed his pride in the team's efforts: "The 3 points in this match are a well-deserved reward for the entire Vietnam U22 team," he affirmed.

The young player also revealed that he had spent time carefully analyzing the previous match between U22 Malaysia and U22 Laos in order to find ways to counter his opponent. A week of serious training was transformed by Dinh Bac into a perfect performance, exciting the fans.

Coach Kim Sang-sik also specifically praised his player: "This result was achieved thanks to Dinh Bac and all our players giving their all on the field," he stated frankly at the press conference.

With his consistent performance, high fighting spirit, and ability to create breakthroughs, Dinh Bac is showing that he fully deserves to be a great hope for the Vietnam U22 team at this year's SEA Games. His brilliant performance in the match against Malaysia not only helped the team reach the semi-finals but also affirmed his position among the promising young generation of Vietnamese football players.
