(Seoul = Yonhap News) Correspondent Euijin Lee = The Vietnamese and Malaysian soccer teams, led by Korean leaders Park Hang-seo and coach Kim Pan-gon, delivered the victory side by side from the first game of the ASEAN Football Federation (AFF) Championship (Mitsubishi Electric Cup), also called the “Southeast Asia World Cup.”
On the afternoon of the 21st, Vietnam defeated Laos 6-0 in the away game of Group B in the group stage of the tournament held at the National Stadium in Vientiane, Laos.
Vietnam, who first won one win in Group B along with Malaysia, which defeated Myanmar in the previous game, took first place in the group ahead of goal loss.
The AFF Championship is the most prestigious biennial tournament in Southeast Asia, and was called the Suzuki Cup.
Coach Park’s Vietnam, which was eliminated in the semi-finals of the previous tournament, is the ‘winner’ of this tournament in name and reality.

Among the 10 participating teams, Vietnam (96th) has the highest FIFA ranking.
In addition, this competition is also the ‘farewell stage’ for coach Park.
Coach Park ends his 5-year partnership with Vietnam after this tournament. The Vietnam Football Association and coach Park agreed not to extend the contract, which expires in January next year.
Vietnam, which recently showed ‘absolute strength’ by winning all five matches against Laos, announced a smooth start toward the championship with a pleasant sweeping victory that day.
In the 15th minute of the first half, Nguyen Tien Linh from the front jumped up and headed a cross from Doan Van Hau from the left flank to score the opening goal.
Then, in the 43rd minute of the first half, Heung-Joong kicked the ball into the opposite goal post with his right foot after the defender failed to handle it properly near the penalty arc, shaking the net again.

Even in the second half, Vietnam’s offensive did not stop.
In the 10th minute of the second half, a cross from the right side was connected to Ho Thanh Tai, who was rushing to the goal, and it led to the third goal. 3 minutes later, Van Howe, who received a long pass from the left side of the penalty box, scored the fourth goal with a powerful left-footed shot.
In the 37th minute of the second half, Nguyen Van Toan’s unexpected shot from the penalty arc was sucked into the bottom corner of the opposite goal, and in the extra time of the second half, Vu Van Thanh sprinted through the back space on the left side of the opponent and calmly kicked it between the crotch of the advancing goalkeeper. He finished the victory by 6 goals.
The second match of Vietnam’s tournament is a face-to-face match between Korean leaders. On the afternoon of the 27th, we will face Malaysia, second in the group, at home.
The Malaysian national team, which was headed by Kim Pan-gon, former head of the Korea Football Association’s National Team Strengthening Committee, also laughed from the first game.

Malaysia beat Myanmar 1-0 in the away match in the first leg of Group B held at Tuunna Stadium in Yangon, Myanmar on the 21st.
After a scoreless first half, the balance between the two teams shifted to Malaysia in the 7th minute when striker Faisal Halim scored the opening goal.
Halim dug into the back space of the Myanmar defense, got into a one-on-one situation with the goalkeeper, and shook the net with a calm right-footed shot.
Myanmar had a golden opportunity to avoid defeat by winning a penalty kick just before the end of the game.
However, Win Niang Thun’s shot as a kicker was blocked by Malaysian goalkeeper Sheehan Hazmi, swallowing regret.
Malaysia will play the second group match against Laos on the afternoon of the 24th before facing Vietnam, the strongest group in Group B.
