Williams Minh Hoang said he was proud to score his first goal for Vietnam in the 4-2 win over Pakistan. BongdaPlus reported that the striker felt he could have scored more had he taken his opportunities, and thanked Dinh Bac for the assist. He also praised his teammate's work in training. His reference to a possible hat-trick was a retrospective assessment of missed chances; it should not be read as a claim that he actually scored three goals in the match.
