    This is the last chance for Vietnam to keep at least a point, with a freekick.

  • 90'+1
    Red card for Vietnam

    Things got even worse for Vietnam, as Thanh Long got a second yellow card after fouling Marselino Ferdinan and got sent off. Vietnam are down to 10 men.

  • 90'

    10 minutes are added to the second half.

    Time is running out for Vietnam. But they couldn't attack much as their midfield got shut down quickly each time they got the ball.

  • 83'

    Le Pham Thanh Long got a yellow card in an attempt of stopping a counter-attack.

  • 81'

    Arhan received a yellow card for buying time.

This is a crucial game for both Vietnam and Indonesia, after their respective defeats to Japan and Iraq. Whoever lose this game will face early elimination from the tournament, while a draw can send both teams home.

Vietnam are rated higher than Indonesia in world rankings, but Indonesia are better in terms of physique and squad value.

On the national team level, Indonesia have failed to win a game against Vietnam since 2016.
