Indonesia vs Vietnam

2016 AFF Suzuki Cup underdogs Indonesia continued to defy the odds as they sealed a 2-1 victory in the first leg of their semifinal against Vietnam at the Pakansari Stadium in Bogor.

Both teams went on the offensive from the start and an early goal from Indonesia’s Hansamu Pranata was cancelled out by Nguyễn Văn Quyết from the spot. The Garudas regained the advantage in the second half through Boaz Solossa and held on to seal an impressive win on home soil.[1]

Myanmar vs Thailand

Thailand got the job done in the first-leg, with two goals from Teerasil Dangda giving them a comfortable lead on aggregate.

The War Elephants did it without breaking much sweat as well, as they showed that they are certainly a level or two above their hosts.

Teerasil broke the deadlock in the 23rd minute with an explosive finish after he was played in by Chanathip Songkrasin. He doubled it 10 minutes into the second half, this time with a simple finish after dancing past two defenders.[2]
