Defeating Myanmar, the Vietnamese women's team won the 32nd SEA Games

The 3-1 victory in the group stage gives the Vietnamese team confidence when they face Myanmar again in the final of the 32nd SEA Games women's football. However, coach Mai Duc Chung and his team are not complacent.

The caution helped the Vietnamese team avoid making mistakes that would allow the opponent to score. The Myanmar team had almost no chance to shoot dangerously in the penalty area. On the contrary, Huynh Nhu and her teammates controlled the match well from start to finish.

Thanh Nha's masterpiece destroyed the opponent's hopes.

The Vietnamese team's tactics were effective early on. After many long passes to put pressure on Myanmar's slow and poorly managed defense, coach Mai Duc Chung's players opened the scoring in the 12th minute. Nguyen Thi Tuyet Dung broke the offside trap and assisted Huynh Nhu to score into an empty net.

After conceding the goal, Myanmar immediately pushed up their attack but could not maintain the pressure. Huynh Nhu and her teammates quickly regained control to dominate the match. Tran Thi Thuy Nga's injury did not affect the Vietnamese team's playing style as coach Mai Duc Chung had many good replacement options.

The game did not change in the second half. The Vietnamese team kept their opponents at a standstill. On the contrary, when Myanmar tried to push up their formation to attack, they exposed many gaps in their defense.

The Vietnamese women's team crushed Myanmar's hopes of turning the game around with a superb goal by Nguyen Thi Thanh Nha. The player born in 2001 used her speed to get the ball before her opponent. Thanh Nha confidently chipped the ball over the head of the Myanmar goalkeeper in a surprising move.

Defeating Myanmar with a score of 2-0, the Vietnamese team won the gold medal in women's football at the 32nd SEA Games. In the history of the tournament, no women's football team has ever won the championship 4 times in a row. The Vietnamese team is also the team that has won the most gold medals in women's football at the SEA Games.
