    Laos made another substitution after conceding the fourth goal.

Coach Kim Sang-sik and his team want to take control of group F in the final qualifying round for the 2027 Asian Cup, so a big win over Laos is the only goal for Vietnam in this opening match.

Laos have never participated in the Asian Cup, while Vietnam aim for a third consecutive qualification. The race to the Asian Cup officially starts now and Vietnam cannot waste any opportunity at Go Dau Stadium, Binh Duong Province.
