On the evening of August 3, the Vietnamese team defeated Indonesia 3-0 right at the Pakansari stadium to rise to the top of Group A of the ASEAN Cup 2026. Despite winning convincingly, striker Nguyen Dinh Bac was the player with the lowest score on the visiting team's side according to statistics from the Sofascore website.
Dinh Bac was arranged by coach Kim Sang-sik to play highest in the attack in the 5-4-1 formation. However, the striker born in 2004 did not leave much of an impression in more than 60 minutes on the field before giving way to Nguyen Xuan Son in the 63rd minute.
According to Sofascore, Dinh Bac was scored 5.8 points, the lowest in the starting lineup of the Vietnamese team. In the match, he did not have a shot on target and the most notable was the fall in the penalty area in the 62nd minute, but the referee did not award the away team a penalty.
Right after Xuan Son came on to replace Dinh Bac, the Vietnamese team's attack played more effectively. In the 71st minute, the naturalized striker scored to seal the 3-0 victory after Hoang Duc's assist and was scored 7.7 points by Sofascore, even though he only played for less than 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, defender Nguyen Van Vi is the player with the highest score in the Vietnamese team with 8.0 points. He opened the score right from the 6th minute and was active on the left wing throughout the match.
Hoang Duc also had an outstanding performance when he made his mark with two assists, receiving 7.9 points. Patrik Le Giang (7.7 points), Le Pham Thanh Long (7.6 points), Pham Xuan Manh (7.7 points), Bui Hoang Viet Anh (7.2 points) and Nguyen Thanh Chung (7.3 points) all had stable matches.
On the Indonesian side, goalkeeper Nadeo Argawinata was the player with the lowest score with 5.6 points after three times having to pick the ball out of the net.
The 3-0 victory helps the Vietnamese team have 7 points after 4 matches, surpassing Indonesia to take the top spot in Group A. Coach Kim Sang-sik's team will take the initiative in the race to win a ticket to the ASEAN Cup 2026 semi-finals before the final match.
