Controversy

In the 6th round of the penalty shoot-out of the final between Vietnam and Thailand, Thailand's Rattikan Thongsombut shot out while Vietnam's Nguyễn Thị Liễu 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 recognised for a goal but reversed her decision after discussing with two lineswomen, Singapore's Mohd Nasir and Merlo Albano from the Philippines stated the ball had not entirely crossed the goal line. [6] Vietnamese media calls the event as a "stolen championship". [7]
