MEDIA Vietnam, The Thao 247, optimistic about the Golden Star squad –nickname Vietnam– qualify for the semifinals AFF Cup 2020 through Group B champion status. The reason is because in the final match of Group B Vietnam only met Cambodia, while in other matches Indonesian National team meet bebuyutan rival, Malaysia.
After going through three matches, the Indonesian and Vietnamese national teams are in first and second place in Group B of the 2020 AFF Cup with seven points. The Indonesian national team has the right to occupy a better position because it has a superior goal difference over Vietnam, which is +6 versus +5.

Meanwhile, Malaysia is in third place with six points. Seeing the conditions above, the Indonesian national team only needed a draw to qualify for the 2020 AFF Cup semifinals.
Likewise with Vietnam, which only needed one additional point against Cambodia to seal a place to the 2020 AFF Cup semifinals. However, Vietnam was not only after a draw.
Park Hang-seo’s squad is chasing a win even with a convincing score. If the Indonesian national team wins 1-0 over Malaysia or with a difference of one goal, Vietnam must win by a difference of at least three goals to lock up the group winners position.
However, The Thao 247 hesitated to see the Indonesian national team win over Malaysia. Even if they win, the Indonesian national team needs extra effort.
