Notably, Filip kept two clean sheets: the 5-0 victory against Lion City Sailors in the group stage and the 2-0 win against PSM Makassar in the second leg of the semi-final. With this achievement, he officially made history as the first Vietnamese-born player to reach both the national team and club finals in less than five months.
