All five players above made great contributions to Vietnam's 2-0 victory over Singapore in the first leg of the semi-final. Goalkeeper Dinh Trieu made a remarkable save in the second half, along with many safe punches. Defender Pham Xuan Manh played energetically on the right flank and showed stability from the beginning of the tournament until now.

Midfielder Hoang Duc is the leader in the midfield, responsible for controlling the ball, creating opportunities as well as supporting the defense. Winger Vi Hao was honored for his ability to create good changes on the left wing of the Vietnam team.

Among the 5 honored names of the Vietnam team, striker Nguyen Xuan Son is the most outstanding as he is truly the most dangerous spearhead in the Vietnam team's attack and makes every defense wary. In the match against Singapore, Xuan Son helped his team win a penalty and directly scored the goal to seal the 2-0 victory.

Behind the Vietnamese team, Thailand, despite losing to the Philippines, still has 4 players who were highly rated by Sofascore and included in the typical lineup of the first leg of the AFF Cup 2024 semi-finals: midfielder Supachok (6.4 points), Bureerat (7.3 points), Peeradon Chamratsamee (7.3 points) and striker Patrik Gustavsson (7.2 points).

Singapore has one player, defender Baharudin (7.3 points), and the Philippines contributes the remaining name, center back Linares (7.3 points).

The second leg of the semi-final between Vietnam and Singapore will take place at Viet Tri Stadium ( Phu Tho ) at 8pm tonight (December 29). Coach Kim Sang Sik's team only needs to not lose more than one goal to the away team to be sure to win a ticket to the final round of the tournament.
