Vietnam hold Indonesia to goalless draw in ASEAN football semifinal’s first leg

The boring goalless showdown extended Vietnam’s unbeaten streak at the tournament to five consecutive games, but also marked the 2008 and 2018 winners’ second blank game, after a similar 0-0 draw against Singapore in the group phase.

Vietnam had a tough game while Indonesia could not utilize their home advantage.

After the first ten tepid minutes when the ball was mainly kept in the midfield, Indonesia had more attacks than Vietnam and put the visitors under immense pressure through to the half-time mark.

Had it not been for Vietnamese goalkeeper Dang Van Lam’s excellence, Indonesia might have got the opening goal.

However, the hosts failed to convert their relevant chances.

Vietnam’s possession of 56 percent resulted in nothing but four goalless finishes.

The inclusion of Nguyen Hoang Duc, Nguyen Quang Hai, and Nguyen Tien Linh also turned out to be ineffective as all of these goal hopefuls made various mistakes.

While a more compelling second half was highly anticipated, both teams disappointed fans with even fewer dangerous opportunities and a prolonged stalemate.

Indonesia went all out to seek a goal in the last added minutes, but Vietnam and particularly keeper Van Lam stayed focused.

The two sides accepted a 0-0 draw and are going to play the second leg at Vietnam’s My Dinh National Stadium in three days.

The other semifinal pair, Thailand and Malaysia, are set to compete in their first leg on Saturday evening in Kuala Lumpur before a rematch on Tuesday evening.

The final will be then held on a home-and-away basis on January 13 and 16.

Vietnam’s opponents in the semifinals will be hosts Cambodia. The Philippines took an early lead in Tuesday’s game thanks to a penalty awarded in the 11th minute after Vietnamese goalkeeper Tran Thi Kim Thanh fouled a Philippine striker in the box. Vietnam struggled to create scoring opportunities before finding an equalizer in the 41st minute, when goalkeeper Olivia McDaniel failed to catch a cross from defender Nguyen Thi My Anh and let Nguyen Thi Bich Thuy net on the rebound. The equal first-half score seemed to take the pressure off the Vietnamese players in the second half, when they played with a dominant style and produced several dangerous attacks. However, they failed to convert their scoring chances and ended up conceding an own goal in the 83rd minute as midfielder Sara Eggesvik’s cross into Vietnam’s box found Hali Long, who pressured Tran Thi Thu to head the ball into Kim Thanh’s net.
