After the Vietnamese team beat Thailand 2-1 in the first leg, fans across the country took to the streets to celebrate the victory.
Many violators were suppressed by the mobile police
According to the schedule, early in the morning of January 3, the Vietnamese team will leave for Thailand. The whole team will have two practice sessions to get familiar with the field before playing the second leg of the final on the evening of January 5.
Despite winning the first leg 2-1, the ASEAN Cup 2024 does not apply the away goals rule, so if Thailand only wins 1-0 in the second leg, the two teams will have to play extra time and penalties if necessary. The Vietnamese team will win the championship if they hold their opponents to a draw or better at Rajamangala Stadium.
