The hosts got off to fine start with Yotsakorn Burapha scoring with a free-kick from distance in the 20th minute.

Thailand's joy was doubled 11 minutes later when a counter attack ended with captain Seksan Ratree sprinting down the right flank before cutting in past two Vietnam defenders and burying the ball with his shot from outside the box past keeper Tran Trung Kien.

Vietnam pulled themselves back into the tie two minutes into the second half with captain Nguen Dinh Bac netting from the penalty spot after he had been brought down by keeper Sorawat Phosaman.

They were back on level terms in the 60th minute when a goalmouth scramble from a corner led to Waris Choolthong turning the ball into his own net.

Vietnam could have gone ahead in the 72nd minute when Hieu Minh met Le Van Thuan's corner kick, only for the ball to bounce off the woodwork.

The amazing comeback was, however, completed in the sixth minute of extra time when a series of passes finished with Nguyen Thanh Nhan tapping home after Phosaman punched the ball into his path.

Earlier, Malaysia broke the deadlock in the 27th minute when wing-back Danish Hakimi Sahaluddin reacted quickest in a defensive scramble inside the Filipino penalty area to poke the ball home.

Philippines equalised in the 36th minute, with full-back Antoine Artega's long throw causing mayhem in the Malaysian box and leading to Haqimi Azim Rosli inadvertently heading the ball into his own net.

Haqimi redeemed himself in the 42nd minute, latching onto a perfectly weighted through pass from Haykal Danish Haizon, rounding goalkeeper Nicholas Guimaraes and rolling the ball into an empty net for what proved to be the winning goal and Malaysia's first medal since 2017.
