Vietnam team leaves for Singapore to play in the ASEAN Cup 2024 semi-finals
On the morning of December 23, coach Kim Sang-sik and his team left for Singapore to play the first leg of the 2024 ASEAN Cup semi-finals against the host team.
In the first leg of the semi-final, the Vietnamese team faced a slight disadvantage when having to play on an artificial turf field (Jalan Besar Stadium).
Previously, when playing on artificial turf, in the match against the Philippines in the group stage on December 18, the team ofDVietnam teamlet the opponent take the lead and could only equalize in the 90+7 minute after Ngoc Tan's header.
However, with an opponent like Singapore, the Vietnamese team can be confident thanks to their good head-to-head record.
The last time the two teams met in the AFF Cup semi-finals was in 2008, when the Vietnamese team won the Southeast Asian championship for the first time.
That year, the Vietnam team beat Singapore 1-0 on aggregate after 2 semi-final matches to get a ticket to the final against Thailand. In addition, in the last 7 matches since 2008, the Vietnam team is unbeaten against Singapore with 4 wins and 3 draws.
The fact that naturalized striker Nguyen Xuan Son shone brightly in his debut match with 2 goals and 2 assists also helped Vietnamese fans believe more in the final ticket of coach Kim Sang-sik and his team.
The first leg of the semi-final will take place on December 26 at Jalan Besar Stadium in the Lion Island./.
