KUALA LUMPUR: Two-time champions Vietnam had to work hard before beating Singapore 2-0 in the first semi-final match of the 2024 ASEAN Cup at the Jalan Besar Stadium in Singapore last night.

In the dramatic clash, the visitors' two goals came in second-half injury time through substitute Nguyen Tien Linh's penalty and naturalised Nguyen Xuan Son's clever finisher.

Earlier, Xuan Son missed out on a golden opportunity to put Kim Sang Sik's squad in front, after his shot deflected into the right of the goal in the 37th minute. Vietnam, who continued to launch attacks, once again had the best chance to break the deadlock, but Bui Vi Hao's attempt also deflected into the right of the net in the 63rd minute.

Five minutes later, Singapore almost got the opening goal, but Mohamad Taufik Suparno's powerful shot was cleared by goalkeeper Nguyen Dinh Trieu.

Xuan Son was once again in a void when his beautiful goal in the penalty box in the 84th minute was cancelled out by the referee, after a video review of the referee's assist (VAR) found the ball in the hands of the Brazilian-born.

Tsutomu Ogura's Singapore were finally penalised with a penalty after substitute Shakir Hamzah was blamed for the ball hitting his hand, watching Tien Linh calmly complete the Golden Star Warriors squad's opening goal.

Vietnam, who were champions in 2008 and 2018, then completed their stylish victory after Xuan Son added a second goal late in the game, thus putting the team one step into the final to make up for the disappointment of being stranded on the stage in the last edition.

The second semi-final between Vietnam and Singapore is scheduled to take place this Sunday at the Viet Tri Stadium.
