Rafaelson Fernandes emerged as the hero of the Vietnamese team when he struck a double to help the Golden Star Warriors team step into the final of the prestigious tournament. However, the goal was denied by the referee after checking the Video Assistant Referee and found that Muhammad Shawal Anuar was in an offside position, thus disappointing head coach Tsutomu Ogura’s men.
The home team finally breathed a sigh of relief when they managed to open accounts in the first half injury time through a penalty kick taken by Vietnamese-Brazilian hybrid player Rafaelson after being brought down by Lionel Tan in the penalty box earlier.
