Vietnam score!

Vi Hao almost scored for Vietnam with his second header of the game. But if Hao's finish is great, the save from keeper Souvanhnasok is even greater.

45'+3
End of first half
Vietnam had many shots but couldn't find a goal in the first 45 minutes, while Laos showed that they are not easy to be bullied.

Two minutes are added to the first half.

40'
Thanh Chung's header from a corner kick did not pose any danger to the goalkeeper. That was Vietnam's 10th shot so far. Kim Sang-sik's team were still wasting opportunities, while in the stands, naturalized Brazilian striker Rafaelson (Nguyen Xuan Son) was pondering. He was not allowed to play in the first three matches of the group stage because he was not qualified yet.

That was a crucial tackle by Anantaza Siphongphan. Without it, Nguyen Tien Linh probably would have scored the opening goal for Vietnam.
Vietnam will begin their 2024 ASEAN Cup campaign with a match against Laos. Head-to-head records showed that Vietnam dominated Laos with 12 wins and only one draw.
However, Vietnam still need to be cautious as Laos have been making progress recently, which is reflected in their 1-1 draw with Thailand last month. In addition, Laos also have the home advantage, which means this match won't be a walk in the park for Vietnam.
