Vietnam team has the best defense in ASEAN Cup 2024

Coach Kim Sang-sik's team has only conceded 2 goals in 5 matches, not even losing in the first half since the beginning of the tournament.

Dinh Trieu and his teammates have been playing quite well since the beginning of the tournament.

After 5 matches, the Vietnamese team has only conceded 2 goals, scoring 13 goals. The team with the second best defense in the tournament is the Philippines with 4 goals conceded. Both Vietnam and the Philippines have played 5 matches so far in the tournament. The Vietnamese team is even the only team that has not lost in the first half since the beginning of the tournament. All 5 matches of coach Kim Sang-sik and his team since the beginning of the tournament have ended with a score of 0-0 in the first half. This is a very rare statistic in the history of the ASEAN Cup, or previously the AF Cup or Tiger Cup. Thailand is considered the leading candidate for the championship, but their defense has not played very well since the beginning of the tournament, conceding 6 goals. The "War Elephants" let Singapore, Cambodia and most recently the Philippines, each team scored 2 goals in their matches against them. The Philippines is showing that they are the big surprise of the ASEAN Cup 2024, with a truly impressive performance. The 2-1 victory over Thailand in the first leg of the ASEAN Cup 2024 semi-finals was the first time in 52 years that the Philippines had won against Thailand. By the end of Vietnam's 5th match at the ASEAN Cup 2024, coach Kim Sang-sik and his team also led in the number of players on the field, with 25 names out of a total of 26 registered players playing. Only young goalkeeper Tran Trung Kien of Hoang Anh Gia Lai Club has not been used for a single minute since the beginning of the tournament. Coach Kim Sang-sik also used 24 out of a maximum of 25 substitutions in 5 matches since the beginning of the tournament, with the average time a player was on the field being 22.6 minutes, a relatively high number.
