Viet Nam's national U-23 football team continued their dream journey at the Asian Football Confederation Under-23 (AFC U23) Championship after beating Qatar 4-3 in the heart-stopping penalty shootout on Tuesday evening in China, advancing into the championship final.

In particular, 1 billion VND, donated by Da Nang’s football lovers, will go to the national U-23 football team for their breathtaking win over Qatari contestants. 

Like other localities across the whole country, the city’s major streets, including Tran Phu, Le Duan, Bach Dang and Nguyen Van Linh, were crowded with local fans waving the Vietnamese flag to celebrate the Vietnamese team’s historic win.

Some reporters and freelancers from the DA NANG Newspaper captured the moment of the city's celebration for the national team's triumph.
