TPO - What an emotional night. Despite the absence of Xuan Son, despite the dangerous situation, the Vietnamese team demonstrated the dignity of true champions and the indomitable spirit of the Vietnamese people. Rajamangala is indeed scary, but the red-shirted warriors are even scarier, turning the Thai holy land into a stage to honor them and the Golden Star on their chests.

Rajamangala was terrifying. Even before the match started, the image of the ultras marching in like real warriors. The atmosphere continued to heat up when the legends of the Golden Temple appeared. Kawin and Kiatisuk took turns fanning the flames in the stands, opening the way for the drums, singing, and cheering to never stop. Every time a Thai player attacked the ball, a deafening sound and a piercing "booo" rang out every time a Vietnamese player attacked the ball. However, amidst the blue that invaded the stands, in one corner stood out a patch of red created by Vietnamese fans. Along with that were proud shouts of Vietnam, urging
coach Kim Sang-sik 's team to move forward. Our players did it, with utmost determination and fighting for the country. They played hard from the first minute, constantly chasing the ball, competing with all their hearts and looking for opportunities to surpass the Thais once again.

They really did that difficult thing, in the suffocating atmosphere of Rajamangala. Tuan Hai's goal in the 7th minute represented the brave spirit of the red-shirted warriors, when they weaved through the Thai defense, seized the opportunity and were one step ahead of goalkeeper Khammai to put the ball into the net. Unfortunately, bad luck suddenly struck. Ngoc Tan, who always played solidly, suddenly made a mistake leading to a goal in the 38th minute. And when bad luck comes, it will come continuously. In the situation of escaping down the right wing, the impact of the opponent caused Xuan Son to fall and break his shin. The painful tears of the 27-year-old striker made any Vietnamese football fan heartbroken. Although he did not have Vietnamese blood, he fought and fell with the Vietnamese spirit. Rajamangala roared again as if ready to swallow the red-shirted boys, at the same time stimulating the desire to win, regardless of everything, of the Thai players. They were not wrong about the rules for the goal in the 63rd minute, but it went against the spirit
of sportsmanship that football always aims for. Dinh Trieu cleared the ball out of bounds because Hoang Duc was in pain, but instead of returning the ball, the Thai player coordinated to score. Even when the referee tried to persuade them, Supachok and his teammates still refused to give up the goal, which would have brought them a 3-3 draw after two matches.
It felt like everything was against
the Vietnamese team . And fate expected coach Kim Sang-sik and his team to collapse. If that happened, no one would blame them. The players did everything, but on a bad night in Rajamangala, the dream of winning the championship was in danger of being shattered. But surprisingly, the Golden Star warriors did not give up. They did not play for a draw, but continued to move forward, fighting against the Thais and the arrangements of fate. The players did not play for themselves, but for Xuan Son, for the millions of fans waiting for news of victory, and for the pride of the country and the people. In the end, the War Elephants were defeated by the determination, resilience and will to win of the red-shirted warriors. They did not accept the arrangement, devoted themselves with all their hearts in adversity to reverse fate. And the Vietnamese team was rewarded while the Thais, it can be considered, paid the price, when Pansa scored an own goal after a cross from Tuan Hai.

To make the victory sweeter, Hai Long's long-range shot in the last minute put an end to the Thais. The ball slowly rolled into the empty net, adding to their bitterness. The final reaction of coach Masatada Ishi's players only highlighted their disappointment, while adding value to the great victory of the Vietnamese team. Coach Kim Sang-sik and his players had endured skepticism for a long time before entering the
2024 ASEAN Cup journey. However, they gradually improved to be better through each match and advanced to the final match, where the boys continued to be challenged once again. And once again, they showed everyone that they deserved this victory, this championship. Even without Xuan Son, even in dangerous situations, they showed the dignity of true champions and the indomitable spirit of the Vietnamese people. Rajamangala was scary, but the red-shirted warriors were even scarier, turning the Thai people's holy land into a stage to honor them and the Golden Star on their chests.
