After a 3-0 victory over Indonesia, the Vietnamese team is facing a great opportunity to close the ASEAN Cup 2026 group stage with the top spot in Group A. Coach Kim Sang-sik's team has 7 points and only needs a draw with Cambodia to definitely reach the semi-finals.
The result against Indonesia shows that the Vietnamese team still maintains its effectiveness even without using the strongest squad. The ability to organize the playing style, change positions and take advantage of opportunities helps the defending champion create a safe gap against the opponent.
In the final match, the starting lineup may be adjusted. When the semi-final ticket is almost in hand, some key players may be given rest to reduce the burden after a continuous schedule. Less used players may be given opportunities.
However, the goal of winning the top spot makes it difficult for the Vietnamese team to rotate the entire squad.
The Cambodian team entered the match with a better spirit after defeating Timor-Leste 3-0. Coach Koji Gyotoku's team also has more options from the naturalized players group. However, defensive ability is still this team's weakness.
Against Singapore and Indonesia, Cambodia conceded up to 7 goals. The defense often encountered difficulties when the opponent accelerated the attack speed or switched positions.
The match between Vietnam and Cambodia at ASEAN Cup 2026 takes place at 8:00 PM on August 7. This match will be broadcast live on the FPT Play platform, TV360 and VTV6, VTV7 channels.
