[[Nguyễn Công Phượng]], however, missed the spot-kick as Vietnam lost 3–0 and was eliminated.
The appointment of head coach [[Park Hang-seo]] saw a significant improvement in the under-23 team hierarchy, as Quang Hải started becoming untouchable in the team's front 3.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://bongdaplus.vn/bong-da-viet-nam/u23-viet-nam-so-do-3-4-3-moi-me-nhung-con-san-2041811712.html|title=Description of the team's attack trio}}</ref>  He was widely praised as a national hero during the historic [[2018 AFC U-23 Championship]] campaign, as the [[Vietnam national under-23 football team|Vietnam U23]] upset major title contenders en route to their very first continental final.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://laodong.vn/the-thao/chan-dung-quang-hai-nguoi-hung-cua-u23-viet-nam-587882.ldo|title=U23 team's hero|date=23 January 2018 }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://vietnamnet.vn/vn/the-thao/media/u23-viet-nam-hanh-trinh-ky-dieu-vao-chung-ket-u23-chau-a-2018-426040.html|title=Route to the final}}</ref>

Quang Hải gained international reputation in [[2019 AFC Asian Cup]] when he played an instrumental part on Vietnam's amazing run in the tournament, including a stunning free kick goal against [[Yemen national football team|Yemen]] as Vietnam won 2–0, and sneaked into the Knockout rounds. Vietnam defeated [[Jordan national football team|Jordan]] in the Round of 16, but fell short 1–0 to the eventual runners up of the tournament, [[Japan national football team|Japan]] in the quarterfinals.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.beinsports.com/en/afc-asian-cup-uae-2019/video/vietnam-2-yemen-0-quang-hai-shines-to-give-1/1086551|title=Vietnam 2 Yemen 0: Quang Hai shines to give Golden Dragons hope}}</ref> Still, Quang Hải was named Man of the Match on both Vietnam's wins in the tournament, and was inducted into the tournament's official all-star squad by the AFC Technical Committee.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://stats.the-afc.com/match_report/13278|title=Vietnam vs Yemen}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=http://stats.the-afc.com/match_report/13295|title=Vietnam vs Jordan}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.the-afc.com/afc/documents/PdfFiles/afc-asian-cup-uae-2019-technical-report-and-statistics|title=AFC Asian Cup 2019 Tecnical Report}}</ref> On 8 November 2019, he defeated [[Chanathip Songkrasin]] of Thailand to win the AFF's Men Player of the year, an award for the best Southeast Asian player in recent two years.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://e.vnexpress.net/news/sports/football/vietnam-wins-asean-s-player-coach-of-the-year-awards-4009783.html|title=Vietnam wins ASEAN's player, coach of the year awards|publisher=VnExpress|date=9 November 2019}}</ref>
Quang Hải scored 3 goals in the [[2022 FIFA World Cup qualification (AFC)|2022 FIFA World Cup qualification]], which helped Vietnam to reach the final round of qualification for the first-time ever. In the first match in the third qualifying round of the World Cup against [[Saudi Arabia national football team|Saudi Arabia]], it was Quang Hải who fired a long shot from the third minute to help Vietnam take a 1-0 lead, but then the team lost 1-3.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://e.vnexpress.net/evolution/football/world-cup-qualifiers-vietnam-suffer-1-3-loss-to-saudi-arabia-despite-early-surprise-4350391.html|title=World Cup qualifiers: Vietnam suffer 1-3 loss to Saudi Arabia despite early surprise}}</ref> Despite their best efforts, Vietnam accepted to be eliminated when they were at the bottom of the table with 4 points.
He scored 2 goals in [[2020 AFF Championship|2020 AFF Cup]]. But even so, Vietnam was still eliminated before [[Thailand national football team|Thailand]] in the semi-finals.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://e.vnexpress.net/report/football/vietnam-suffer-0-2-defeat-in-aff-cup-semifinal-against-thailand-4407208.html|title=Vietnam suffer 0-2 defeat in AFF Cup semifinal against Thailand}}</ref>
At the [[2022 AFF Championship|2022 AFF Cup]] finals, Quang Hải clearly lost his form after a long time on the bench in [[Pau FC|Pau]], Vietnam also lost with the total score after two 2-3 matches in the final against Thailand.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://en.nhandan.vn/vietnam-miss-out-on-aff-cup-2022-trophy-after-loss-to-thailand-post121879.html|title=Vietnam miss out on AFF Cup 2022 trophy after loss to Thailand|date=16 January 2023 }}</ref>
Quang Hải scored a goal at the [[2023 AFC Asian Cup]] against [[Iraq national football team|Iraq]] in the final round of the group stage. That goal helped him become the first Vietnamese player to score in two Asian Cup periods. However, Vietnam was eliminated right from the group stage of this tournament
