Vietnam controlled the ball more than 70%

At Viet Tri Stadium ( Phu Tho ), the Vietnamese team created an overwhelming game against Myanmar. Coach Kim Sang-sik's team pressed the opponent right after the opening whistle, controlling the ball more than 70%. According to statistics from Sofascore , in the first half, the home team shot 15 times (2 shots on target), 5 times more than the Myanmar team. Unfortunately, luck still did not smile on the Vietnamese team, allowing Myanmar to hold the score to 0-0. In the second half, the Vietnamese team still took the initiative on the field. In the 48th minute, Vi Hao scored a close-range shot, helping the Vietnamese team open the score. With a comfortable mentality, the Vietnamese team continued to attack, scoring 4 more goals from Xuan Son (minutes 55, 90), Quang Hai (minute 74) and Tien Linh (minute 90+3) to close the match with a 5-0 victory.

Easily defeating Myanmar 5-0 at home, the Vietnamese team finished the group stage undefeated (3 wins, 1 draw). The "Golden Star Warriors" have 10 points and a goal difference of +9, proudly leading Group B. Quang Hai and his teammates will face the Singapore team in the semi-finals (second place in Group A, with 7 points after 4 matches).

The Vietnamese team confidently entered the semi-finals with the top position.

At Manahan Stadium, the Indonesian team started the match confidently, dominating the Philippines. Unfortunately, in the 43rd minute, coach Shin Tae-yong's team had to play with one less player after Muhammad Ferarri received a red card. From then on, Indonesia began to lose control of the game and ended the match with a 0-1 loss.

With 3 points on the away field, the Philippines “snatched” the ticket to the next round from Indonesia in Group B. The Philippines has 6 points after 4 matches, following the Vietnamese team into the semi-finals. On the opposite side, the Indonesian team only has 4 points, ranked 3rd and was eliminated.

The defeated team of the Vietnamese team in the last round, Myanmar, also has 4 points after 4 matches, equal to Indonesia, but has to rank 4th due to losing in the secondary index (Indonesia has a goal difference of -1, Myanmar has a goal difference of -5).

Meanwhile, despite an excellent performance at the 2024 AFF Cup, the Laos team only has 2 points after 4 matches. Coach Ha Hyeok-jun's students are the team at the bottom of Group B.
