With this result, Indonesia temporarily leads Group B with 4 points after two matches. Meanwhile, Laos has got its first point and can completely hope for a ticket to the next round. Many records were set after this match. Accordingly, Phousomboun Panyavong made history when he became the youngest player of Laos to score in the AFF Cup 2024 at the age of 17 years, 5 months and 22 days. Previously, Somxay Keohanam held this record when he scored at the age of 20 years, 3 months and 24 days in the match against Cambodia in 2018. The record for the youngest player to score in the AFF Cup belongs to Aung Kyaw Tun. The Myanmar midfielder scored in the match against Thailand in the Tiger Cup 2000 (the predecessor tournament of the AFF Cup) at the age of 14 years and 93 days. For the first time in the history of the AFF Cup, a match had 4 goals scored within 18 minutes. In addition, this match also made history when it witnessed 3 goals in 13 minutes. The record number of goals in a match belongs to Indonesia's 13-1 win over the Philippines in 2002. That match saw 7 goals in the first 45 minutes. This is also the match with the highest score in AFF Cup history.

Laos also had the most goals scored against Indonesia in history. Before that, they only scored two goals in a 2-5 defeat to Indonesia at the 1997 SEA Games and a 2-2 draw at the 2012 AFF Cup. Before drawing with Indonesia, Laos caused another shock when they held Thailand to a 1-1 draw in a friendly last month. They can completely hope for a ticket to the next round when they face Myanmar and the Philippines in the next matches. Witnessing the match between Indonesia and Laos, expert Gabriel Tan said that this was a classic match of the AFF Cup. ESPN reporter commented on his personal page: "Witnessing the lightning counter-attacks, the scary throw-ins, I don't know if I'm watching an AFF Cup match or a classic battle at the Tiger Cup." In the upcoming match in Group B of the AFF Cup 2024 taking place on December 15, Laos will face the Philippines, while Indonesia will travel to Viet Tri Stadium to meet the Vietnamese team.
