Goals from Nguyen Hai Long, Nguyen Tien Linh, Nguyen Van Toan and Nguyen Van Vi secured victory for the Golden Star Warriors, with Laos getting a consolation goal courtesy of Bounphachan Bounkong’s penalty.

With this victory, Vietnam went atop Group B of the ASEAN Championship on goal difference, as Indonesia was only able to get a 1 - 0 victory away in Myanmar.

Both Vietnam and Indonesia will clash heads on December 15 in Phu Tho in a crucial game that could decide the tournament for both teams.
