Speaking after the match, Bui Hoang Viet Anh sadly said: "I am very sad and regretful. The whole team played well in the second half, but the goal did not come."

After a good performance against Japan on January 14, the Vietnamese team is confident when facing Indonesia at Khalifa Stadium (Qatar) on the evening of January 19 in Group D of the 2023 Asian Cup.

However, the Indonesian team played better in the first half and they opened the score in the 42nd minute thanks to Asnawi's successful penalty kick, after Thanh Binh pulled down Rafael Struick in the penalty area.

In the second half, the Vietnamese team controlled the ball up to 58% and dominated the game, but the chances of coach Troussier's team were not clear. The Vietnamese team's hope of equalizing ended when Le Pham Thanh Long received a red card at the end of the match and was unable to find a goal.

Bui Hoang Viet Anh himself had a good match against Indonesia. According to Sofascore, Viet Anh is the second highest rated Vietnamese player with 7.3 points, just behind goalkeeper Nguyen Filip with 7.6 points.

The defender of Hanoi Police Club added: "I hope fans will continue to support the Vietnamese team. In the future, we will definitely have a very different face and will improve to aim for future success."

After a bitter 0-1 loss to Indonesia, the Vietnamese team finished last in Group D and was officially eliminated from the 2023 Asian Cup. In the final match on January 24, the Vietnamese team will face the Iraqi team with the goal of achieving a positive result to salvage their honor.

Asian Cup 2023 is a tournament where the Vietnamese team will be missing many key players due to injuries such as Que Ngoc Hai, Tien Linh, Hoang Duc, Van Lam. However, the defeat to Indonesia for the first time in 8 years since the semi-finals of the AFF Cup 2016 of the Vietnamese team brought great disappointment.

This is the first time since leading Indonesia, coach Shin Tae Yong has won against the Vietnamese team. In the two tournaments in 2007 and 2019, the Vietnamese team were present in the quarterfinals, but this year, coach Troussier's army sadly left the tournament after the group stage.
