    Bui Tien Dung receives a yellow after fouling an Indonesia player.

  • 57'

    Vietnam create chances after chances in just a few minutes but they lack a bit of accuracy. Vietnam have 10 shots while Indonesia only have one.

Vietnam are having six points like Indonesia in group B. A victory will send Vietnam to the semifinals. For Indonesia, even if they win against Vietnam, there's no guarantee of advancing since they still have to face Malaysia, who also have six points, in the last game.

Indonesia have lost all four matches they played against Park Hang-seo's Vietnam, including SEA Games 2019 matches and World Cup qualifiers.
