On the evening of January 5, the Vietnamese team won 3-2 against Thailand in the second leg of the 2024 ASEAN Cup final, thereby winning with a total score of 5-3 to win the championship in this year's tournament.
Striker Pham Tuan Hai was the one who scored the opening goal of the match before Pansa (own goal) and Hai Long scored to bring home the championship trophy for the "Golden Star Warriors".
After the match, Tuan Hai shared: "I think everything the team tried to do has paid off. I'm very happy and today's match was very emotional.
The Vietnamese team played in a stadium with a lot of fans so we experienced a lot of pressure. On the field, we were encouraged and played for the colors of the Vietnamese team.
Xuan Son's injury is a pity. During the break, the coach encouraged the team to play for the sake of those who were injured.
Thank you to all the fans and everyone who supports the Vietnam team."
Coach Kim Sang-sik's team finished the tournament unbeaten, with 7 wins and 1 draw - a proud achievement for the national team. After 29 years of history, no team has achieved this in a single competition, not even Thailand.
