Following Viet Nam’s dramatic win in the ASEAN Federation Football (AFF) Suzuki Cup 2018 last night, fans spilled onto Da Nang’s streets to celebrate.

The Vietnamese squad defeated the Philippines 2-1 in the second leg of the semifinal, which took place at Ha Noi’s My Dinh Stadium last night, to advance to the AFF finals.

Earlier, Viet Nam also beat the Philippines 2-1 in the first leg which was held in Bacolod City, the Philippines, on 2 December.
