JAKARTA - Indonesia's dream to return to the 2022 AFF Cup final was determined tonight when they met Vietnam. Here are five players who can be the difference in that match.

The second leg duel between Vietnam and Indonesia will take place at the My Dinh Stadium, Monday, January 9 at 19.30 WIB. Garuda troops only need a draw, at least 1-1, to qualify for the final with the enactment of an away goal.

The opportunity for the Garuda Squad is quite open even though it will not be easy to make it happen. Shin Tae-yong certainly hopes that his players can perform better than before.

There are several players who are predicted to be the focus of the South Korean coach in the second leg later.

The following are 5 players who can be the key to the Indonesian national team to win the AFF Cup final ticket:

Nadeo Argawinanta

The Bali United goalkeeper was again played as a starter when he hosted Vietnam in the first leg of SUGBK. Whereas previously two had injured in the stomach when facing the Philippines in the final match of the group phase.

He is predicted to be sent back since the first minute although so far he has conceded two goals. Nadeo's presence under the crossbar is felt to provide a sense of security for the Garuda defense.

Jordi Amat

This player who is rich in European experience is definitely going to return to being a mainstay in Shin Tae Yong's team back line. He has so far played a big role in the heart of defense.

The 30-year-old has made a total of three times the first XI, each against Cambodia, Thailand and Vietnam. The accuracy of the bait above 90 percent that he has is expected to help Indonesia clean sheets again.

Marc Klok

Klok is a general in central field in Indonesia. He started against Cambodia, Thailand, the Philippines and Vietnam.

In addition to being good at regulating the rhythm of the game, Klok can also break the deadlock by helping attack power. In total he has also scored two goals.

The two goals netted each came in a 1-1 draw against Thailand and a 7-0 win against Brunei in the second match of the group stage.

Marselino Ferdinand

Marselino appeared good at AFF this year. He scored one winning goal when Indonesia faced the Philippines.

In the match against Vietnam yesterday he was trusted to play from the first minute. Therefore, he has a great chance of starting again.

Dendy Sulistyawan

He became one of the players that Shin Tae-yong always played. Had only been a substitute in the early match against Cambodia, the Bhayangkara FC player was then always a mainstay in the front lines from the start of the match.

So far, Dendy has scored two goals for the Garuda Squad. The goal of Brunei Darussalam and the Philippines was the victim.

In the first leg, he was able to get some chances. However, he has not succeeded in using it to increase his goal treasurer.
