The Miracle of Hanoi was a football match between the Philippines and Vietnam in the group stage of the 2010 AFF Championship. The Philippines' 2–0 win against Vietnam is widely regarded as the start of the Philippines' resurgence in football in the 2010s. Prior to the match, the Philippines were known for being among the weakest sides in Asian football. The match was held at the Mỹ Đình National Stadium in Hanoi. The Philippines would later clinch their first semifinals appearance in the tournament's history.
