VOV.VN - Vietnamese striker Nguyen Tien Linh was awarded the top goal scorer award at the AFF Mitsubishi Electric Cup 2022, sharing the prestigious prize with Thai player Teerasil Dangda who also scored six goals following the conclusion of the tournament on January 16.
The Binh Duong native has become the first Vietnamese footballer to win the top goal scorer title.
In the group stage of the AFF Cup 2022, Linh scored three goals in matches against Laos, Malaysia, and Myanmar.
