Among them, the star from the English Premier League, Justin Hubner, played extremely outstandingly. The 20-year-old center-back led the defense, creating solidity. The Vietnamese team did not have many dangerous opportunities in that match.

Justin Hubner is a player trained in England. Therefore, his technical and tactical thinking is on a different level compared to Southeast Asian players. In addition to intercepting and fighting for the ball well, the Dutch-born player's ability to launch attacks is highly appreciated.

It was Justin Hubner who initiated the attack that led to Indonesia's penalty. Asnawi Mangkualam then scored the only goal of the match.

The Vietnamese team has one final match in the 2023 Asian Cup against Iraq on January 24. Coach Troussier's team is determined to win to regain the trust of the fans.
