The second leg of the final between Vietnam and Thailand left many emotions as well as controversial situations. The most notable situation was the goal that raised the score to 2-1 for Thailand by striker Supachok in the 64th minute. That was the ball when goalkeeper Dinh Trieu threw the ball to the touchline when he saw his teammate was in pain, but instead of returning the ball to the Vietnam team, the Thai players seized the opportunity to quickly organize an attack, and Supachok finished from outside the penalty area, hitting the Vietnamese team's net. Coach Kim Sang Sik and his students strongly protested the Thai team's ugly goal. VAR technology was also involved in the review, but the final goal was still recognized. However, the Vietnam team still played bravely to come back and defeat Thailand with a score of 3-2 later. "Thank you to the Thai players for fighting with all your might for the country. But you should still play fairer. There's no need to score goals by any means like that. If we want to be brothers in Southeast Asia, we need to behave better," Nunlacha Nattie Romanoff commented on Supachok's goal on the FA Thailand website. "The Thai players are shameful. None of them are outstanding. Behavior is very important," another Thai fan said.
