Vietnam Dominates Indonesia 3-0 in 2026 AFF Cup Group A

Vietnam secured a dominant 3-0 victory over the Indonesian national team in their 2026 AFF Cup Group A fixture at Pakansari Stadium. The win propelled Vietnam to the top of the group standings with seven points, while Indonesia now faces a must-win scenario in their final match.

Vietnam established control early, opening the scoring in the sixth minute. Nguyen Van Vi capitalized on a through ball, outpacing the defense and slotting a low shot past goalkeeper Nadeo Argawinata. The visitors doubled their lead in the 15th minute with a swift counterattack, culminating in Nguyen Hai Long's precise finish into the bottom left corner.

Despite attempts to rally in the second half, Indonesia struggled to convert their chances. Thom Haye missed a close-range opportunity in the 58th minute, and Mitchell Baker's header went wide later on. Vietnam sealed their victory in the 71st minute when Nguyen Xuan Son broke through the offside trap and fired a low shot into the net.

The defeat leaves Indonesia in third place with six points from three matches. Their hopes of reaching the semifinals now hinge on a victory against Singapore on August 7. Anything less than three points will see them eliminated from the tournament.
