Vietnam team 5-0 Myanmar

1. Nguyen Dinh Trieu (7 points)

Fans were surprised when Dinh Trieu replaced Nguyen Filip in the starting goalkeeper in the match against Myanmar. However, the goalkeeper of Hai Phong Club played with concentration and did not make any silly mistakes like in the match against Laos. In the first half, he had 2 saves from Lwin Moe Aung. In the second half, Dinh Trieu continued to block all the shots from the Myanmar striker.

2. Truong Tien Anh (7.5 points)

Compared to the match against Laos, Truong Tien Anh played much better. It seems that the presence of Nguyen Xuan Son gave Tien Anh confidence when crossing the ball. He defended firmly and brought positive energy when participating in the attack. In addition, Tien Anh took corner kicks quite well.

Coach Kim Sang-sik's surprising personnel decisions paid off.

3. Pham Xuan Manh (7.5 points)

Pham Xuan Manh played well against Myanmar. In fact, it is difficult for opponents to overcome a defender with good physical strength like Xuan Manh. The Hanoi FC players played with concentration and were not troubled by the Myanmar strikers.

4. Nguyen Thanh Chung (7.5 points)

Nguyen Thanh Chung played in the middle of the defense and coordinated well with Dinh Trieu and the rest of his teammates. The center back born in 1997 completed his assigned task. It is very difficult to beat Thanh Chung in one-on-one battles.

5. Bui Tien Dung (7.5 points)

There is not much to say about Bui Tien Dung on a day when the captain of The Cong Viettel played very consistently. Win Naing Tun and Zaw Thiha were stuck when facing Tien Dung. He continued to demonstrate his impressive ability to pass the ball to launch attacks.

6. Nguyen Van Vi (6.5 points)

Van Vi did not play well in the match against Myanmar. Supported in defense by Tien Dung, Van Vi freely advanced but did not make any difference. At the end of the first half, Van Vi missed a very unfortunate opportunity when Xuan Son's pass put him face to face with the Myanmar goalkeeper. This defender left the field in the 60th minute.

7. Nguyen Hoang Duc (7 points)

Hoang Duc had difficulty showing his role in the midfield. In fact, Myanmar retreated deep and the Vietnamese team easily controlled the situation. However, the midfielder born in 1998 rarely made truly dangerous passes. At the end of the first half, he headed the ball and unfortunately hit the post. However, Hoang Duc still played hard and he deserved to receive encouragement.

8. Nguyen Quang Hai (8.5 points)

The goal against Indonesia helped Nguyen Quang Hai regain his confidence. The midfielder of the Hanoi Police Club played well against Myanmar. In the first half, he took a free kick that hit the post. Many of the Vietnamese team's attacks went through Nguyen Quang Hai's feet. He is still a quality satellite to support Nguyen Xuan Son in the rest of the AFF Cup 2024.

Quang Hai continues to play well as captain.

9. Nguyen Van Toan (8 points)

Van Toan did not score, but the great pressure that the Nam Dinh player created made the Myanmar defense confused. From here, more opportunities came to Nguyen Xuan Son. Unfortunately, an injury forced Van Toan to leave the field in the middle of the second half. It is possible that Van Toan will miss the rest of the tournament.

10. Bui Vi Hao (9 points)

Unlike the match against the Philippines, Bui Vi Hao played very well in his second start at the AFF Cup 2024. After a missed shot in the first half, Vi Hao exploded when he scored the opening goal and assisted Xuan Son to score. This helped the young striker of the Vietnamese team to be more confident if given the opportunity.

Bui Vi Hao proves why he was selected to start 3 matches in AFF Cup 2024.

11. Nguyen Xuan Son (10 points)

Xuan Son is eager and looking forward to his debut match for the Vietnam national team. He scored 2 goals and had 2 passes for Vi Hao and Tien Linh to score. Such a performance deserves a score of 10. Xuan Son is the biggest hope of the Vietnam national team at the AFF Cup 2024.

Nguyen Xuan Son made an impressive debut in the Vietnamese national team.

Substitution

Tan Tai (6.5 points): Duy Manh only played for 30 minutes and he completed his mission.

Tien Linh (9 points): Tien Linh proved that he can play with Xuan Son. He scored 1 goal and passed to Xuan Song to score against Myanmar. Tien Linh worked hard to move around to support his teammates.
