Controversy

In the 6th round of the penalty shootout of the final between Vietnam and Thailand, Thailand's Rattikan Thongsombut shot out while Vietnam’s Nguyen Thi Lieu effort hit goalkeeper Waraporn Boonsing and rolled its way past the goal line before being shot away by the goalkeeper. Myanmar referee Thein Thein Aye first recognized for a goal but reversed her decision after discussing with the lineswoman from Malaysia.[6] Vietnamese media calls event as Stolen championship[7]
