Nguyen Xuan Son extended his impressive scoring streak for the Vietnamese national team with two goals in the 3-1 win over Singapore on the evening of December 29 at Viet Tri Stadium ( Phu Tho ). The Brazilian-born striker's total goals at the 2024 AFF Cup (ASEAN Cup) were raised to 5.
After only 3 matches, the number 12 of the Vietnamese team has become the leading candidate for the title of top scorer of the AFF Cup 2024. Xuan Son temporarily rose to the top of the scoring chart, surpassing Shawal Anuar (Singapore, 4 goals) - the Singaporean player who no longer has a chance to improve his record.
Nguyen Xuan Son achieved extremely high performance in the Vietnamese national team.
The player closest to Xuan Son's achievement is teammate Nguyen Tien Linh. The player who won the AFF Cup 2022 top scorer title has 4 goals, including 1 goal in the match against Singapore on the evening of December 29.
The trio of Thai players, Patrik Gustavsson, Suphanat Mueanta and Teerasak Poeiphimai, each scored three goals. They are the most formidable opponents of the two Vietnamese strikers in the competition for the title of top scorer.
Not only scoring, Nguyen Xuan Son also regularly creates assists for his teammates. The naturalized striker of Brazilian origin has a very high efficiency in contributing to goals.
Since Xuan Son was eligible to play, the Vietnamese team has scored a total of 10 goals. The 27-year-old striker directly brought about 50% of the above goals. In addition, he had 2 assists for his teammates to score in the victory over Myanmar. Xuan Son himself contested and created a penalty in the first leg against Singapore in the semi-finals.
Thus, 80% of the goals of the Vietnamese team in the last 3 matches have the clear mark of Xuan Son. This striker also won the title of best player of the match twice.
