Head coach Park Hang-seo: Our goal is winning even playing away

“Singapore and Vietnam both have two wins and have had to move to come to Singapore so I think there is no advantage with either nation, however, as is the case in every match we play we are coming here with the clear aim to win the game,” said Park Hang-seo.

“Football is a contact sport, it’s not like volleyball, and there are laws of the game and a referee whose decisions we must follow.”

Vietnam currently lead Group B on the same six points after two matches with Singapore third.

“It is a home game for us and we want to play well in front of our supporters, to play our style, be aggressive and get another win,” said coach Takayuki Nishigaya.

“The key thing was to collect the six points from the first two matches and we’ve done that even while facing various issues, so now the focus is solely on doing well against Vietnam.

“We’ve prepared well and we know that we are facing a strong team.”
