Immediately after the match ended, the medical team of the Vietnamese team took Bui Hoang Viet Anh to the hospital to stitch the tear in the eyebrow area. According to information from the coaching staff, the injury of the center-back born in 1999 is not too serious and stitching the wound will help the recovery process take place faster.
Viet Anh encountered a strong collision in the 27th minute in a high ball dispute situation with striker Mitchell Baker on the Indonesian side. The collision caused this player's eyebrow to be torn, bleeding quite a lot and forcing the medical team to enter the field for care.
After being bandaged to stop the bleeding, the central defender of the Vietnamese team continued to play instead of leaving the field. He completed the rest of the match, contributing with the defense to keep a clean sheet against the pressure of the home team.
The 3-0 victory over Indonesia helps Vietnam team rise to the top of Group A of ASEAN Cup 2026 with 7 points after 3 matches. Coach Kim Sang-sik's team only needs to get at least 1 point against Cambodia in the last match to officially win a ticket to the semi-finals.
The fact that Bui Hoang Viet Anh's injury was determined to be not serious is also a positive sign for the coaching staff of the Vietnamese team in the context that the team is aiming to defend the ASEAN Cup championship.
