Hok Sochetra (Cambodia):
;
"My player did well today, but they were a bit unlucky. I think we had chances to score tonight so I think, ; I don't know how else to say it. ; Just unlucky.
;
Today we did much better than in the previous game, all my players all worked very hard. It was still very hot, and I think I made a mistake, because we prepared for this tournament by practicing in the evenings, in cooler weather. We are not used to this heat.
;
It will be hard to qualify, of course, but we will do our best in the next games, you can be sure. About tonight, again, all I can say is that we were unlucky."

Koicji Kimura (Laos):
;
"Today we were not as good as I hoped, but we got the win. We tried to play fast-paced football, but tonight it was very hot, although kick-off was at 6pm. ;
;
Individually, we have many good players but as a team, we must do better in the next games.
;
If Cambodia would have scored a goal when they had their chances, we would have seen another kind of match. We had a bit of luck, but it is part of the game. This is football!"
