Van Hau determined to defeat Malaysia, hopes fans will fill the stadium.

Doan Van Hau is likely to be included in the starting lineup by coach Kim Sang Sik for the Vietnam national team and is determined to secure victory together with the whole team.

At the pre-match press conference, Van Hau shared: "The goal for Hau and the Vietnam national team is to play wholeheartedly for the flag and jersey, to deliver an exciting match for the fans, and the objective is to win.

For Hau, every time he joins the national team camp, he feels very happy but also a bit nervous. Hau strives to perform his best, fulfill his duties, hoping to continue receiving opportunities to play from the head coach.

Football always involves wins and losses. The Vietnam national team's 0-4 defeat in the first leg was a regrettable result, especially when playing away with a large Malaysian crowd.

In this return leg, Hau and his teammates are determined to give their utmost to deliver an exciting match and bring victory to the fans.

Whenever Hau enters the pitch, he always plays with full effort, listens to the head coach's tactics to work with the whole team towards victory.

We hope fans will come to Thien Truong Stadium in large numbers to cheer for the Vietnam national team in this match.

Tomorrow's match is very exciting, the contest is tight; the team that makes fewer mistakes will win.

The Vietnam national team lost 0-4 to Malaysia in the second leg of Group F in the final qualifying round at Bukit Jalil Stadium on June 10, 2025.

But recently, coach Kim Sang Sik's team was awarded a 3-0 victory because the opponent used seven foreign-born players who obtained citizenship with forged documents. Malaysia was also handed a 0-3 defeat against Nepal, after winning 2-0 in their opening match. These two reversed results helped the Vietnam national team take the top spot and secure a place in the Asian Cup 2027 finals.

The Vietnam national team has not lost to Malaysia since the return leg of the 2014 AFF Cup semifinals (now ASEAN Cup), with a 2-4 score. The Vietnam team missed the final after losing 4-5 overall. Over the past 20 years, the Vietnam national team has lost only two matches, winning 13 and drawing two against Malaysia.

The Vietnam national team holds the Southeast Asian record with a streak of 12 consecutive wins. The most recent defeat was against Thailand, with a 1-2 score, in a friendly match in September 2024. Since then, the Vietnam national team has remained unbeaten for 16 matches, with 14 victories.
