JAKARTA - The Indonesian and Vietnamese national teams will undergo the second leg of the 2022 AFF Cup semifinals at My Dinh Stadium, Hanoi on Monday, January 9 at 19.30 local time. This meeting will be a moment of agile battle between the two goalkeepers, Nadeo Argawinata and Dang Van Lam.

The performance of these two players is no less important in the journey of the two teams in the 2022 AFF Cup. Nadeo and Van Lam's scarcity in guarding the crossbar each made a slick record for the team.

As is known, Indonesia qualified for the semifinals of the 2022 AFF Cup with the status of runner-up in Group A. With a collection of 10 points, Indonesia only conceded three goals during the group phase.

Nadeo's performance in maintaining the integrity of the Garuda Squad goal was again proven when he appeared in the first leg of the 2022 AFF Cup semifinals. Even though he was injured during the match against Thailand in the group stage, the Bali United player returned to appear against Vietnam and clean sheet because the 95 minute match ended 0-0.

So far, three goals that have been netted by Nadeo have occurred in the group stage. The three goals were respectively created against Cambodia (2-1), Thailand (1-1) and the Philippines (2-1).

Even if he only conceded three goals, Nadeo must continue to increase his guard against the Vietnamese player's breakthrough in the second leg later. Because if you look at the record, it's not impossible that The Golden Star will play more pressing at home.

Moreover, Vietnam also has a better record for the goalkeeper, Dang Van Lam. During his participation in the 2022 AFF Cup, Park Hang Seo's team has never lost.

Indonesia even had to face Vietnam in the semifinals because this team was the winner of Group B. With a score of 10 points they won one over Malaysia in the runner-up position.

Vietnam's victory was also inseparable from the slickness of Van Lam guarding the team's goal. From all appearances in the group stage to the semifinals of the first leg of the 2022 AFF Cup, the goalkeeper who was born in Russia succeeded in making a clean sheet record in all matches.

Van Lam was able to keep the Vietnam goal from conceding a single one from the start of his team's 2022 AFF Cup. The record was an important spotlight for Shin Tae-yong as the national team coach to draw up tactics in the second leg to tarnish Van Lam's record.
