Hanoi: Nguyen Anh Duc 's sixth minute strike secured Vietnam their second AFF Cup crown as they defeated Malaysia 1-0 in the second leg of the final at the My Dinh Stadium on Saturday to lift the regional crown 3-2 on aggregate.
Vietnam deserved to win but Malaysia gave the second leg of the final their all despite the odds being stacked against them after the first leg ended 2-2 on Tuesday.
Vietnam created problems for Malaysia early on as the visitors were made to chase shadows in the opening minutes and the Golden Dragons were rewarded for their aggression.
Park Hang-seo’s men took advantage of the gaps in the Malaysian defence when Nguyen Quang Hai picked out an unmarked Nguyen Anh Duc in the six-yard box who scrambled the ball home to the delight of the home crowd.
