Chief coach Grachen Guillaume decided to let goalie Van Truong, defender Dong Trieu, strikers Cong Phuong and Van Toan sit on the substitute bench and test a number of young players’ skills.
Despite a substitute line-up, Vietnam dominated the game, scoring three goals each in both halves before Brunei struck their only goal in the second half.
Group winners Vietnam will take on Laos in a semi-final match on September 20.
If Vietnam outplay Laos, they are likely to enter the final encounter against hosts Indonesia that only meet Timor Leste in the second semi-final.
