Flood of excited football fans after Vietnam Olympic team’s victory

Vietnam made history with its first entrance into the semifinals of the men’s football
 event at an ASIAD, with the only goal scored by Van Toan in extra-time at the quarterfinals

Shortly the referee’s whistle, colourful and loud parties were created
on streets across the capital of Hanoi

Every jubilant fan was excited with victory of coach Park Hang-seo
and his young Vietnamese footballers

From streets everywhere, floods of people filled with happiness and pride
moved into the city centre

Floods of people with national flags made impressive images

These images remind one of the eventful atmosphere when young Vietnamese footballers
 won the silver medal at the AFC U-23 Championship at the beginning of the year

Foreign tourists shared happiness with Vietnamese fans

The cheerful atmosphere seemed to get even more bustling into the night

Clarinet and drums, pots and pans were used to make an animated atmosphere

A number of families took their children out to celebrate the victory

After the match finished, traffic police officers were deployed at main areas
to control traffic, avoiding traffic jams

With the support of millions of fans, our young footballers are hoped to gain more confidence
and determination to play against the Republic of Korea (RoK) at 4 p.m on August 29th
