Semi-final close to Vietnam team
Quang Hai's valuable goal helped the Vietnamese team defeat Indonesia 1-0, thereby regaining the top spot in Group B of the AFF Cup 2024. Not only did this victory end a series of 3 consecutive losses against the team from the archipelago country, it also helped Vietnam get closer to the semi-finals.
Vietnam is currently leading Group B with 6 points after 2 matches (goal difference +4), Indonesia is second with 4 points after 3 matches (goal difference 0), Philippines is third with 2 points after 2 matches (goal difference 0), Laos is third with 2 points after 3 matches (goal difference -3), and Myanmar is last with 1 point after 2 matches (goal difference -1).
The Vietnamese team is close to the semi-finals.
With the current situation in Group B, Indonesia, Laos and Myanmar will have a maximum of 7 points after 4 matches, while the Philippines will have a maximum of 8 points after 4 matches.
Therefore, if they defeat the Philippines in the match at 8pm on December 18 at Rizal Memorial Stadium, the Vietnamese team will have 9 points, meaning they will definitely be at the top of the table with 1 match early. Even if they do not win against the Philippines, a draw will also help Mr. Kim and his team have a good chance of winning the top spot.
The Vietnamese team has an impressive record against the Philippines, having gone undefeated against this opponent for 12 years. Quang Hai and his teammates have won all 5 recent matches against the Philippines, including 2 matches in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers (2-0, 3-2) and 3 matches in the AFF Cup (2-1, 2-1 and 3-1).
At the AFF Cup 2024, the Philippines drew both first matches, sharing points with Myanmar and Laos with the same score of 1-1.
