Before the 2024 AFF Cup semi-finals, Vietnam, Thailand and the Philippines were the three undefeated teams. Singapore suffered a 2-4 defeat against Thailand. The Golden Temple team won all four matches, scoring 18 goals against opponents in Group A.
Meanwhile, the Philippines team drew 3 matches against Vietnam, Myanmar, Laos but won a historic victory against Indonesia. That was enough for coach Albert Capellas and his team to qualify for the semi-finals.
Vietnam team won 3 and drew 1, with 10 points and the top position in group B.
Vietnam team undefeated at AFF Cup 2024.
In the first leg of the semi-final, Vietnam continued to win 2-0 against Singapore while Thailand had to accept a bitter 1-2 loss to the Philippines. Thus, Vietnam and the Philippines are the last two teams that have not lost in this year's tournament. Thailand had to accept defeat and need to make a lot of effort at home at Rajamangala if they want to qualify for the final match.
For the Vietnamese team, the opportunity for coach Kim Sang-sik and his team to make history by being undefeated in an AFF Cup is still intact. In fact, the Vietnamese team still has difficulties when playing on artificial turf. The situation will improve significantly when Quang Hai and his teammates return to their home stadium Viet Tri. Entering the final, coach Kim Sang-sik's solid and defensive-based playing style will have more opportunities to develop.
On December 27, the Vietnamese team, divided into two groups, returned to Viet Tri City ( Phu Tho ) to prepare for the second leg of the semi-final. Coach Kim Sang-sik had the strongest squad with a big advantage thanks to the away win.
On the contrary, coach Ogura Tsutomu said that he and his players will do everything to create a comeback against the Vietnamese team. The Singapore team welcomes the return of Nakamura. The Japanese-born midfielder plays an important role and is an irreplaceable piece in the Singapore midfield.
The match between Vietnam and Singapore takes place at 8:00 p.m. on December 29.
