Cool! Thai Media Agrees that the Indonesian National Team is Greater than Vietnam in the 2020 AFF Cup: Okezone Bola

TOTAL Thai media mentions Indonesian National team better than Vietnam from AFF Cup 2020. The basis for the assessment emerged because the Indonesian national team was able to outperform Vietnam in the hunt for the status of the 2020 AFF Cup Group B champion.

Last night, the Indonesian and Vietnamese national teams both competed for tickets to the 2020 AFF Cup semifinals. Not only competing, the Indonesian and Vietnamese national teams were also fighting for the status of the 2020 AFF Cup Group B winners.

Because, by coming out as group winners, they will avoid the most successful team in the AFF Cup, Thailand, which finished as the winner of Group A of the 2020 AFF Cup. Initially, it was predicted that Vietnam would finish as the winner of Group B.

The reason is because in the last match of Group B, Vietnam only met Cambodia. Meanwhile, in another match, the Indonesian national team met their eternal rival, Malaysia.

Thailand coach, Alexandre Polking, was also seen watching the Indonesia vs Malaysia national team match. The Brazilian tactician predicts that one of Indonesia and Malaysia will meet Thailand in the 2020 AFF Cup semifinals.

However, extraordinary results were obtained by the Indonesian National Team. Shin Tae-yong’s squad won big 4-1 over Malaysia. Meanwhile, in another match, Vietnam crushed Cambodia 4-0.

True, the collection of points for the Indonesian national team is exactly the same as Vietnam in second position, which is 10 points. Not only points, the goal difference between Indonesia and Vietnam is also exactly the same, namely +9. However, the Indonesian national team has the right to occupy a better position because it has scored more goals, which is 13 compared to Vietnam’s nine.

As a result, Indonesian National team finish as winners of Group B AFF Cup 2020, followed by Vietnam in second place. In the 2020 AFF Cup semifinals, the Indonesian national team met Singapore. Meanwhile, the other semifinal brought together Thailand vs Vietnam.

“Vietnam beat Cambodia amazingly. However, that is not enough to make them come out as winners of Group B. Vietnam is below Indonesia because they are not productive,” wrote Thai media, SiamSports.

“Vietnam destroyed Cambodia. However, it was not enough to take first place and prepare to face Thailand in the semifinals. Elkan Baggott’s header helped Indonesia take the top spot after a 4-1 win over Malaysia,” wrote another Thai media report, Sanook.
