Vietnam News/ANN, January 9, HANOI: Following a scoreless stalemate in the first leg of the semifinals of the AFF Cup 2022 just three days ago, top-ranked Asean nations Vietnam and Indonesia will face off once more tonight.
Vietnam, which hasn't given up a goal in the competition thus far, needs to win the forthcoming game at Hanoi's My Dinh stadium to advance.
The two teams are now tied in terms of points. However, the away goals rule favors Indonesia, giving them a competitive edge.
This is a crucial encounter, according to Vietnamese coach Park Hang-seo, and the Vietnamese players have done their best to prepare. If Vietnam loses, Park will retire after this.
This time, it's likely that the strongest squad will be used.
