Vietnam erupts in celebration as football team win gold

Football fans nationwide hit the streets in massive numbers, recreating scenes of frenzied pre-pandemic jubilation after Vietnam beat Thailand to claim the SEA Games 31 gold on May 22.

Vietnam retained their SEA Games men’s football title on Sunday night, with a late, golden goal enough to see off bitter rivals Thailand by a goal to nil.

The party began at My Dinh Stadium in Hanoi and surely went long into the night as the whole country celebrated their latest group of young heroes./.
