The Vietnamese squad won the game in the final minute of added time with a header from experienced forward Anh Duc after a corner kick taken by midfielder Xuan Truong.

The result marks the first time that the national team has beaten Thailand away from home in 11 years, with the last victory coming in a 3-2 win during the AFF Cup 2008.

The football Association of Thailand had promised members of the Thai team 10 million Baht, equivalent to VND8 billion, if they recorded a victory over Vietnam in the semifinals.
