The solidarity of the nation for generations has not been broken by any enemy power. And today that pride is written in a new history page: The pinnacle of regional football power.

Vietnamese football has passed the period of "pain and sorrow", has "rose from the mud and shone brightly" to hold its head high: Winning the AFF Cup after 10 years of waiting and will be the championship trophies in higher arenas of Asia and reaching out to the world!?

Before the match, coach Tan Cheng Hoe declared: "Malaysia still has a chance to win the championship and we have 90 minutes to do it at your My Dinh stadium". That's right, once the Tiger is cornered, it is always full of strength, ferocity and danger.

With the strongest lineup and a strong physical foundation, Malaysia rushed forward like a hurricane, surrounded our goal, and attacked the Vietnamese team first.

However, our team played with determination fueled by a strong belief in the mission of changing the history of our country's football.

With strong will and courage, the Vietnamese team broke the Malaysian attacks, calmly responded with sharp counterattacks to "finish" the opponent in the most important moments and created a miracle because of the sweetness in the final battle.

Tears fell in Changzhou and today tears fell in My Dinh, but today they are sweet tears, tears of joy of victory after 10 years of dreaming, 10 years of winning a championship trophy.

Everywhere you look, you can see red flags with yellow stars fluttering on every street, on buildings or on every familiar street corner. It is a sea of ​​people, a sea of ​​flags rolling like surging ocean waves, singing together "Vietnam Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam is the champion".
