Coach Kim Sang-sik created a surprise in the starting lineup of the Vietnamese team in the match against Singapore. Nguyen Quang Hai sat on the bench and gave way to Chau Ngoc Quang. In goal, there were no changes as Dinh Trieu continued to be trusted with the starting position. Playing in front of him were three central defenders, Bui Tien Dung played on the left, Do Duy Manh wore the captain's armband and played on the right, and Thanh Chung played in the center of the defense.

The right-back position was assigned to Pham Xuan Manh, Vu Van Thanh returned to the starting lineup to play left-back. The central midfielder duo who played many matches in the group stage, Doan Ngoc Tan - Nguyen Hoang Duc, had a chance to reunite.

Meanwhile, the two players playing as attacking midfielders for Nguyen Xuan Son are Nguyen Hai Long and Chau Ngoc Quang. They are both quick, skillful and possess good passing skills.

Playing in the target striker position is Nguyen Xuan Son. There was no surprise when Tran Trung Kien and Nguyen Van Toan were not registered to play. Le Pham Thanh Long was once again removed from the list.

Meanwhile, Singapore welcomed back midfielder Kyogo Nakamura after he was suspended for the first leg of the semi-final. Left-back Hamzah suffered a broken finger in a collision with Xuan Son but was still able to play normally.

The Vietnamese team entered the second leg of the AFF Cup 2024 semi-finals with many advantages on and off the field. Coach Kim Sang-sik and his team played at home with the support of 20,000 spectators in Viet Tri. The 2-0 victory created a safe gap for the Korean coach to make many calculations.

With this result, the Singapore team needs to win by at least 2 goals to send the match into extra time. To go straight to the final after 90 minutes, they need to beat the home team by 3 goals or more.
