[Anchor] Vietnam, led by head coach Kim Sang-sik, beat Thailand by Japanese coach Masatada and won the Mitsubishi Cup final, which drew attention with
The Commander-in-Chief Korea-Japan match.

Vietnam, which lifted the trophy again under the Korean head coach seven years after coach Park Hang-seo, completed a drama that turned around again after overcoming Thailand's "Be Manner" controversy.

The second round of the Mitsubishi Cup final, dubbed the World Cup in Southeast Asia.

In the 19th minute of the second half, when Thailand's Sarachat scored a come-from-behind goal with a picturesque mid-range shot, Vietnamese players strongly protest against the referee.

The ball was intentionally kicked outside by the Vietnamese goalkeeper because Thailand did not return it and connected it with a surprise mid-range shot.

However, Thailand's come-from-behind goal, which caused controversy over "Be Manner," was a strong stimulus to Vietnam.

Vietnam, which had a numerical advantage as the Thai midfielder was sent off due to accumulated warnings, brought back the mood by inducing Thailand's own goal.

He also scored a wedge goal toward the empty goal just before the end of the second half, ending a long game.

After the first round of the finals, he won all the games until the second round, achieving an unbeaten victory.

It is the third win in seven years since Park Hang-seo Magic in 2018.

Japan's coach Masatada stopped Thailand's third consecutive victory and won the top spot in Southeast Asian soccer, adding to the significance.

Kim, who took over as Vietnam's coach in May last year, raised his stock price by commanding the first Mitsubishi Cup.

Like former head coach Park, who has been the head coach of Vietnam for six years, the prospect of a long-term contract is coming from the region.
