Dinh Trieu and his teammates have been playing quite well since the beginning of the tournament.

After 5 matches, the Vietnamese team has only conceded 2 goals, scoring 13 goals. The team with the second best defense in the tournament is the Philippines with 4 goals conceded. Both Vietnam and the Philippines have played 5 matches so far in the tournament. The Vietnamese team is even the only team that has not lost in the first half since the beginning of the tournament. All 5 matches of coach Kim Sang-sik and his team since the beginning of the tournament have ended with a 0-0 first half. This is a very rare statistic in the history of the ASEAN Cup, or previously the AF Cup or Tiger Cup. Thailand is considered the leading candidate for the championship, but has a defense that has not played very well since the beginning of the tournament, conceding 6 goals. The "War Elephants" have let Singapore, Cambodia and most recently the Philippines, each team has scored 2 goals in their confrontations with them. The Philippines is showing that they are the big surprise of the ASEAN Cup 2024, with a really impressive performance. The 2-1 victory over Thailand in the first leg of the ASEAN Cup 2024 semi-finals was the first time in 52 years that the Philippines had won against Thailand. By the end of Vietnam's 5th match at the ASEAN Cup 2024, coach Kim Sang-sik and his team also led in the number of players on the field, with 25 names out of a total of 26 registered players. Only young goalkeeper Tran Trung Kien of Hoang Anh Gia Lai Club has not been used for a single minute since the beginning of the tournament. Coach Kim Sang-sik also used 24 out of a maximum of 25 substitutions in 5 matches since the beginning of the tournament, with the average time a player was on the field being 22.6 minutes, a relatively high number.
