The Vietnamese team won 2-1 against Thailand in the first leg of the AFF Cup 2024 final, which took place at 8 p.m. on January 2 at Viet Tri Stadium. Xuan Son's two goals in the 59th and 73rd minutes gave coach Kim Sang-sik's team an advantage before the second leg.
Despite conceding an unfortunate goal in the final minutes when the defense allowed Chalermsak Aukkee to comfortably head the ball, the first home win against Thailand after 27 years of waiting also helped the Vietnamese team move closer to the 2024 AFF Cup championship. As long as they do not lose in the rematch in Rajamangala, Mr. Kim and his team will be crowned Southeast Asian champions.
"Coach Park Hang-seo once said that the Vietnamese team is no longer afraid of Thailand. After today's victory, we have shown our strength against this opponent. I said that there is no mountain that cannot be overcome.
I understand that the Vietnamese team has defeated Thailand at home for the first time in 27 years. So I am happy with this victory. I am very happy and excited to bring new hope to Vietnamese fans to start 2025," coach Kim Sang-sik affirmed.
The Vietnamese team has only beaten Thailand once away from home in the past 15 years. Meanwhile, Thailand is playing well at Rajamangala Stadium in the 2024 AFF Cup, winning all matches against Malaysia, Cambodia and the Philippines. This is an unpredictable obstacle that coach Kim Sang-sik and his team must overcome.
