Vietnam secured a ticket to the final of the AFF Suzuki Cup 2018 Thursday night with a 4-2 semifinal aggregate over the Philippines, and the whole country seemed to roar with happiness.
As they hit downtown streets, mostly on motorbikes and cars, many fans got carried away and committed the usual violations of speeding, not wearing helmets and carrying more than two people on a bike.
Vietnam’s next encounter is an away match against Malaysia, the other finalist, on December 11. The second leg will be played at home in Hanoi on December 15.
