After the final match Monday, in which Portugal beat Argentina to claim championship, FIFA announced the nominees for the tournament's best goal on its official Facebook page.
A day later, Hieu’s goal was voted the winner, followed by Ali Hassanzadeh (Iran), Jovan Lazaveric (Serbia) and Leonardo (Brazil).
Hieu's goal helped Vietnam win their second game of the group stage 3-2 on September 16. He started from the midfield and dribbled past two Panama players and the keeper to finish in the open net. The win was also crucial in helping Vietnam advance to the round of 16, where they were defeated 2-3 by world number four Russia.
The FIFA page called Hieu's goal "a sublime solo effort."
A total of 301 goals were scored at Futsal World Cup 2021. Vietnam scored seven in their four games.
