Before that, goalie Van Lam’s net was shaken at the 70th
minute, but the goal for Thailand was ruled out as the referee determined that
a host defender had fouled a Vietnamese player. This served as a warning for
Vietnam that they needed to cement their control of the middle field.
Midfielders Quang Hai had a spectacular shot at the 80th minute but the
ball missed the bar by inches only, much to the regret of spectators both at
the stadium and watching the match on TV.
At the 89th minute, Xuan Truong was sent in as a strategic substitute and he
proved his value with the corner kick which found Anh Duc’s head. The header
was so powerful that the Thai goalie could not block the rebounding ball.
With the score, Vietnam proved that they are reigning champions in Southeast
Asia.
