Playing explosively in the second half, the Vietnamese team won big against Laos on the opening day: But…

On the evening of December 9, the Vietnamese team faced the Lao team at the Lao National Stadium (capital Vientiane), within the framework of the first match of Group B - AFF Cup 2024. In the opening match of the regional tournament, coach Kim Sang-sik did not use the strongest lineup, when many key players were kept on the bench.

In the first half, the Vietnamese team had difficulty finding the opening goal. The playing style of coach Kim Sang-sik's team was not really coherent. Meanwhile, the Lao team played extremely confidently, not clustering to defend and ready to create quality counterattacks.

Hai Long kicked the ball to break the deadlock.

In the first 45 minutes of the match, the Vietnamese team had many opportunities but could not take full advantage to score. The most notable situation was probably Bui Vi Hao's header in the 4th minute. However, the 2003-born striker's shot was not dangerous enough to defeat the Lao goalkeeper.

In the second half, coach Kim Sang-sik made many substitutions and brought about results. In the 58th minute, center back Bui Tien Dung made a pass to Hai Long who rushed up and fired a powerful volley from a tight angle, breaking the deadlock for the Vietnamese team.

Tien Linh took advantage of the opponent's mistake to score.

Just 5 minutes after the opening goal, Nguyen Tien Linh took advantage of a mistake from a Lao player to double the gap to 2-0 for the Vietnamese team with a diagonal shot. In the 69th minute, Quang Hai made a delicate pass to put Van Toan in a favorable position and the former HAGL striker did not miss the opportunity to increase the score to 3-0.

Substitute Nguyen Van Vi scored the final goal for the Vietnamese team in the 83rd minute, with a powerful shot from outside the penalty area.

Rookie Van Vi contributed 1 goal with a powerful shot from outside the penalty area

In the 90+5 minute, the Laos team scored a goal to narrow the gap to 1-4. Bounkong scored from the penalty spot. This was also the final score of the match.

Despite the victory, Vietnam's playing style still leaves concerns and Mr. Kim still has a lot of work to do when we host Indonesia on December 15 at Viet Tri Stadium.

At 4:00 p.m. on December 10, the Vietnamese team will return home and immediately move to Phu Tho to prepare for the big match.
