Teerasil Dangda's two goals in the Thailand vs. Vietnam match on Tuesday (December 14th) made him the all-time top scorer in the AFF Cup. Teerasil scored 19 goals in the Southeast Asian football tournament.
These two goals surpassed Singaporean striker Noh Alam Shah, who scored 17 goals in the history of the AFF Cup. Noh Alam Shah's total includes 7 goals in a single match against Laos in 2007.
In third place is Thailand's Worrawoot Srimaka with 15 goals. Following them are two Vietnamese players, Le Cong Vinh (15 goals) and Le Huynh Duc (14 goals).
Indonesian player Kurniawan Dwi Yulianto scored 13 goals while playing for the national team in the AFF Cup from 1996 to 2004. Although his name is on the list of top scorers, Kurniawan never led Indonesia to victory in the AFF Cup.
Teerasil Dangda can still increase his goal count in the upcoming semifinal match against Vietnam. If they win, he will have two more matches in the final to add to his tally.
