JAKARTA - The Indonesian national team will face Vietnam in the semifinals of the 2022 AFF Cup. With a two-legged format, the Garuda Squad first appeared at the Gelora Bung Karno Main Stadium on Friday, January 6 at 19.30 WIB.
The Golden Star Warrior is definitely not an easy opponent. Head to head, Indonesia is indeed superior, but lately Vietnam has become superior.
In the 2022 AFF Cup, Vietnam is unbeaten in the preliminary phase of Group B. In fact, they never conceded.
Even though the group has big teams from Malaysia, Singapore and Myanmar.
The record of the meeting between Indonesia and Vietnam must also be a concern. Since 2007, Park Hang-seo's team has only experienced defeat to Indonesia once.
It happened when Indonesia hosted Vietnam in the semifinals of the 2016 AFF Cup. At that time, Indonesia won narrow 2-1.
The victory made Indonesia qualify for the final after the first leg which took place at the Vietnam headquarters, the two teams drew 2-2.
Meanwhile, in the last five meetings, four matches ended in a draw. Most recently, both teams drew 0-0 at Indonesian headquarters on December 15, 2021.
The following is Indonesia vs Vietnam's record in their last 10 meetings in the AFF Cup:
September 11, 1996: Vietnam 1-1 Indonesian national team
September 15, 1996: Vietnam 3-2 Indonesian national team
16 November 2000: Vietnam 2-3 Indonesian national team
December 21, 2002 : The Indonesian national team 2-2 Vietnam
December 11, 2004: Vietnam 0-3 Indonesian national team
January 15, 2007: Indonesian national team 1-1 Vietnam
22 November 2014: Vietnam 2-2 Indonesian national team
December 3, 2016: The Indonesian national team 2-1 Vietnam
December 7, 2016: Vietnam 2-2 Indonesian national team
December 15, 2021: The Indonesian national team 0-0 Vietnam
The meeting in the first leg of the 2022 AFF Cup semifinals will not only be a place for prestige competition, but will also prove the quality of the coach. Moreover, both Indonesia and Vietnam are carpentry with a South Korean tactician.
The Garuda squad was raised by Shin Tae-yong who consistently fostered the mentality of his players, while Vietnam was escorted by Park Hang-seo who managed to polish Vietnam's prestige as one of the strong teams in Southeast Asia.
