Fans hit the streets as Vietnam beat strong opponent Thailand

Le Anh Duy and his family went to Hoan Kiem Lake in central Hanoi as soon as the game ended. "I'm so happy that we won against Thailand today. They were always a tough opponent to beat in the region," Duy said.

An old man hit the street, held a big Vietnam flag on his bike.

A family joined the celebration with horns and flags ready.

The joy of a long-time fan, 70-year-old Nguyen Van Hao, as he was wearing a headband and holding a horn cheering for the win.

Outside My Dinh Stadium, fans began the parade, waving flags and drawings of coach Park Hang-seo.

Instead of popping a bottle of champagne, this man popped a fire extinguisher in extreme happiness.
