Football: Late Vietnam goals sink Singapore in first leg of ASEAN Championship semis

In the 61st moment, it was the home team’s turn to put the game in the back of the net, but Shawal’s finish was flagged offside after he was passed through by the upbeat Hami Syahin.

Singapore came a painfully near moments after, but substitute Taufik Suparno was denied by the Vietnamese goalkeeper Nguyen Dinh Trieu’s fingertips.

However, Vietnam was under threat thanks to Nguyen Tien Linh’s outstanding chip, which flew merely wide of Izwan.

In the final ten minutes of normal day, there was play as a substitute Faris Ramli was tackled in the charges box, but no penalties were issued following a protracted VAR check.

Nguyen Xuan Son slammed a beautiful barrage into the back of the internet, but was later found guilty of handling the ball. Vietnam then started to feel aggrieved.

Next came the time that drastically altered the activity: Shakir Hamzah was harshly criticized for handling the ball in the field after falling over.

Nguyen Tien Linh tucked his position blow home with his strength to obliterate the crowd. Nguyen Xuan Son’s purpose made the game safe with his goal, keeping the capacity crowd in shock.
