Shugen Nakano gave the Philippines its second judo gold medal in the 31st Southeast Asian Games after beating Vietnam’s Hoang Phuc Truong, 1-0, in the men’s 66kg category Friday.
Nakano was given a point at the 3:06 mark of the match and held on until the finals match ended.
Truong tried to pull off a last second ippon to steal the win but ran out of time.
Nakano also won the gold in the 2019 edition of the SEA Games in Manila.
