Vietnam's two defeats are among the top 5 'craziest' matches in AFF Cup history

Fox Sports Asia has an article about the most unpredictable matches since the AFF Cup was established in 1996.

In the article, Fox Sports mentioned two defeats of Vietnam. These were also the most confusing and controversial defeats for Vietnamese football fans.

"The semi-final between Vietnam and Malaysia was probably the most exciting match ever. In the first leg at Malaysia's Sha Alam Stadium, Vietnam stunned the home fans by scoring two goals to leave with a 2-1 advantage.

Malaysia were almost hopeless in the return match in Hanoi but they completely transformed. 2 goals in the first 16 minutes of the match helped Malaysia lead with a total score of 3-2.

Vietnam lost incomprehensibly to Malaysia.

Although Vietnam pulled one back in the 22nd minute, an own goal and a Muhammad Shukor header restored Malaysia's lead. Malaysia eventually advanced to the final with a 4-2 win that evening," Fox Sports reported on the 2014 Vietnam-Malaysia match.

The defeat against Malaysia was one of the hardest defeats for Vietnamese fans to swallow. In the match against the Philippines in the AFF Cup 2010, the Vietnamese team, despite playing at My Dinh Stadium, lost due to inexplicable mistakes by the defense.

In addition to Vietnam's two matches, the three other matches listed by Fox Sports include: Laos drew 2-2 with Thailand in 2010; Myanmar drew 1-1 with Thailand in 2004 and Singapore beat Thailand 2-1 in the final in 2007./.
