On the evening of December 18, the Vietnamese team had a 1-1 draw on the Philippines' field in the 4th match of Group B of the ASEAN Cup 2024.
In this match, coach Kim Sang-sik surprised everyone by launching a brand new lineup with players like Chau Ngoc Quang, Dinh Thanh Binh, Bui Vi Hao or Khuat Van Khang,...
The "Golden Star Warriors" encountered many difficulties when playing on artificial turf. Combined with the lack of connection between the players on the attack line, the Vietnamese team was stuck in scoring.
While struggling to find a way to approach the Philippines' goal, the Vietnamese team committed a systematic error in defense. As a result, the team conceded a goal in the 69th minute when Khuat Van Khang failed to fight well in the air, creating an opportunity for Gayoso to eliminate Thanh Binh before finishing the shot into the Vietnamese team's net.
The Vietnamese team's efforts were rewarded in the last minute of extra time when Doan Ngoc Tan took advantage of the Philippines goalkeeper's failed clearance and put the ball into an empty net.
Although unable to win against the Philippines, the Vietnamese team still continues to lead Group B of the ASEAN Cup 2024 with 7 points after 3 matches.
The next two positions are Indonesia and Myanmar with 4 points respectively. Cambodia with 3 points is ranked 4th. Laos is at the bottom of Group B with only 2 points and is definitely eliminated.
