  "account": "Vietnam strengthened their hold on the Asean Championship title with a 2-2 draw against Thailand, securing a 4-2 aggregate victory at My Dinh National Stadium in Hanoi. The hosts took the lead 2-0 from the first leg in Bangkok. However, Thailand's midfielder Yotsakon Burapha scored in the 12th minute, cutting the gap to 2-1. Thailand had a chance to level the aggregate score when Kakana Khamyok missed a penalty, but it was soon rectified as goalkeeper Chatchai Bootprom scored an own goal just four minutes later, reinforcing Vietnam's two-goal advantage. In the 84th minute, substitute Wanchai Jarunongkran put Thailand ahead 2-1 on the night with a stoppage-time goal, but it was his own miss that sealed the victory for Vietnam, as he missed a penalty. Vietnam's fourth Asean title follows their wins in 2008, 2018 and 2024.",
