At ASEAN Cup 2026, the Vietnamese team played a total of 8 matches, including 4 home matches and 4 away matches. In which, coach Kim Sang-sik's students scored 14 goals in away matches, while only 7 goals were scored when returning to My Dinh.
This achievement is partly created by the 7-0 victory over Timor-Leste in the group stage. This is the match where the Vietnamese team scored the most goals in the tournament and was held away from home. If not counting this match, the number of goals of the team at home and away is 7.
My Dinh is also the place that witnessed the only match where the Vietnamese team did not score at the ASEAN Cup 2026. The team drew 0-0 with Singapore in the group stage before improving performance in the following matches.
Another notable statistic is that all 21 goals of the Vietnamese team at the tournament came from live ball situations. The team did not score any goals from corner kicks, direct free kicks or penalties.
Xuan Son and Dinh Bac both lead the scoring list of the Vietnamese team with 5 goals. Quang Hai, Hai Long and Hoang Hen each scored 2 goals, while Van Vi had 1 goal. The remaining four goals came from the opponent's own goals.
Meanwhile, Thailand ranked second in the number of goals in the tournament with 16 goals. Notably, the "War Elephants" also scored better when playing away from home. They have 11 goals away from home but only 5 goals at Rajamangala.
Thailand is unbeaten in away matches but has lost 2 times at home, against Singapore in the second leg of the semi-finals and Vietnam in the first leg of the final. These figures show that home is not an absolute advantage for the two teams participating in the ASEAN Cup 2026 final.
For the Vietnamese team, 21 goals and the championship are notable figures in the journey to conquer the ASEAN Cup 2026.
