Three Teams Confirmed Expelled From The 2023 Asian Cup, Two Of Them From Southeast Asia

Vietnam was eliminated from the 2023 Asian Cup (doc. AFC).

JAKARTA - A total of three teams will definitely destroy their dreams to the knockout stages of the 2023 Asian Cup. This certainty has taken into account the notes in the head-to-head.

Group A, for example, is the only group that has finished all the preliminary matches.

As a victim, Lebanon is a team that must return home because it is the caretaker. In the last match against Tajikistan at the Jassim bin Hamad Stadium, Monday, January 22, 2024, they lost 1-2.

Shifting to another group, there are two groups that have even confirmed that the team has been eliminated from just two matches.

Two Southeast Asian teams, Malaysia and Vietnam, had to end their struggle in Qatar even though they still had one game left.

Vietnam lifted the suitcase after losing to the Indonesian national team 0-1 on Friday, January 19, 2024. This defeat made Golde Star definitely the caretaker of Group D.

Even if they won against Iraq in the last match, Vietnam's position remained at the bottom because they lost head-to-head to the Indonesian and Japanese national teams.

Then, Malaysia became one of the Southeast Asian representatives who was also confirmed to be eliminated in the 2023 Asian Cup. The Malayan Tigers were at the bottom of the standings after losing 0-4 to Jordan and 0-1 to Bahrain.

If they win in the final match of Group E against South Korea, Malaysia's position will not change due to a head-to-head loss with Bahrain. That too with Bahrain's record of losing in the last match against Jordan.

The number of team members eliminated from the 2023 Asian Cup will increase tonight, Tuesday, January 23, 2024, in line with the holding of four matches.

The four matches that will compete are four teams from Group B consisting of Australia vs Uzbekistan and Syria vs India. Two more matches feature matches in Group C between Iran vs United Arab Emirates and Hong Kong vs Palestine.
