CAHN has emerged as the standout team in the tournament, wrapping up the group stage with an impeccable record of five consecutive victories. Dominating Group B, CAHN's formidable lineup, featuring star Vietnam internationals Nguyễn Quang Hải, Vũ Văn Thanh, and Bùi Hoàng Việt Anh, has proven to be a force to be reckoned with. Their foreign players have also excelled, contributing to the team's impressive tally of 15 goals, the highest in the competition. CAHN's solid defense has conceded just six goals, underscoring their balanced approach.
Trailing CAHN in Group B is Buriram United, which has made a compelling case to be considered the next best team in the tournament. Despite an early setback against CAHN, where they were defeated 2-1, Buriram United has demonstrated resilience and skill. The team secured their place in the semifinals by edging out Kuala Lumpur City with a narrow 1-0 victory. Throughout the tournament, Buriram United has opted to field nearly their strongest lineup at every opportunity, highlighting their determination and strategic planning.
The semifinals are set to take place in April, with CAHN and Buriram United both vying for a spot in the highly anticipated final. The potential rematch between these two formidable teams remains a tantalizing prospect for fans and analysts alike. CAHN's attacking prowess was on full display when they routed Kaya FC-Iloilo with an emphatic seven-goal performance. Meanwhile, Buriram United has consistently showcased their tactical acumen, positioning themselves as strong contenders for the title.
Other teams such as BG Pathum United and PSM Makassar have yet to make a significant impact in the tournament. With the semifinals fast approaching, all eyes will be on whether CAHN can maintain their unbeaten streak and whether Buriram United can exact revenge for their earlier defeat.
