Phan Van Duc leads, Van Quyet "bottoms" in scoring the Myanmar - Vietnam match
When Van Quyet could not complete the task of leading the attack, Van Duc and Cong Phuong replaced their seniors to shoulder the responsibility in the match against Myanmar in the group stage of AFF Cup 2018.
 |
| Dang Van Lam (7.5 points): The Vietnamese-American goalkeeper continued to have a classy and impressive performance in the goal of the Vietnamese team. He denied two dangerous shots from Myanmar strikers, thereby standing firm against the pressure of the home team throughout the 90 minutes. With Van Lam, the Vietnamese team has not conceded a single goal since the beginning of the tournament. |
 |
| Do Duy Manh (7.5 points): Duy Manh was almost not mentioned during the entire 90 minutes of the match against Myanmar. But isn't that the greatest honor for a central defender? |
 |
| Tran Dinh Trong (7.5 points): In many situations during the match, the strength and determination of the former Saigon FC defender was the support for goalkeeper Dang Van Lam's goal. The player born in 1997 played extremely solidly and had almost no opponents in one-on-one situations. |
 |
| Que Ngoc Hai (7 points): Three consecutive starts in the AFF Cup 2018 is proof that Ngoc Hai has officially taken Bui Tien Dung's place in the Vietnam national team. The vice-captain received a yellow card in the 43rd minute but he was also the only central defender to have a shot in the 59th minute. |
 |
| Phan Van Duc (8 points): Continuing to be coach Park Hang-seo's trump card, Van Duc started as a right winger before being pushed up to play as a left midfielder in the second half. He had 4 shots and 3 dangerous passes after 90 minutes. Van Duc, and no one else, was the most active attacker of the Vietnamese team in this match. |
 |
| Doan Van Hau (7 points): Committing two fouls in the first half, arguing and colliding with opponents many times, Van Hau continued to make the coaching staff worried because of his fierce personality. The 19-year-old defender played well but still needs more time to improve his composure. |
 |
| Luong Xuan Truong (7.5 points): Xuan Truong only played a good supporting role in the attack but did not leave much of an impression in the defense. In the first half, the HAGL player made 5 passes that could have been converted into goals. In return, he lost the ball a few times and could not cover all the gaps in the middle. Due to tactical requirements, Xuan Truong only played for 45 minutes. |
 |
| Nguyen Quang Hai (7.5): Just in terms of attack, Quang Hai completed his task excellently with 3 breakthrough passes and 3 shots. He was especially dangerous in the second half when he played higher up near the Myanmar penalty area. Hai's highlight was the backheel that created an opportunity for Van Duc in the 37th minute. |
 |
| Nguyen Cong Phuong (7.5 points): When Van Quyet could not fulfill his role as the leader of the attack, Cong Phuong emerged to replace his senior. Three shots and one pass creating an opportunity are the remarkable statistics of the HAGL Club player after 90 minutes. More importantly, "number 14" has become a transit point in the attacks of the Vietnamese team, a kind of bridge between the attack and the midfield. |
 |
| Nguyen Anh Duc (6.5 points): Having scored 2 goals in the previous 2 matches, Anh Duc could not maintain that luck in this match. He mainly played the role of a wall for his teammates and was only really dangerous in some high ball situations. Frankly speaking, Anh Duc did not make much of an impression in the 90 minutes he was on the field. |
 |
| Nguyen Van Quyet (6 points): Returning to the starting lineup, captain Van Quyet had a lackluster day. He did not have a single shot or make any breakthrough passes during the 45 minutes he was on the field. After 45 minutes, Van Quyet had to give up his position to his junior Do Hung Dung. |
 |
| Nguyen Van Toan (7 points): Only on the field for 14 minutes, Van Toan left a strong impression. The disallowed goal in the 77th minute was the most notable move of the match. In addition, Van Toan also had many breakthroughs, passing people very well on the right wing. It felt like Mr. Park asked his students to give all the ball to Van Toan during the time this player was on the field. |
 |
| Do Hung Dung (7 points): Strength and speed were two bright spots that Do Hung Dung brought to the Vietnamese midfield when he came on to replace Xuan Truong in the 45th minute. With Hung Dung, the midfield competed much better, using more face-to-face situations and coordinating one-twos right in front of the penalty area. The Myanmar defense had a few moments of hesitation when Hung Dung appeared on the field. |
