Coach Mai Duc Chung surprised the Cambodian opponent with a lineup that changed compared to the two matches against Malaysia and Myanmar. Thanh Nha, Van Su, My Anh, Thuy Trang were on the field from the beginning and Vietnam created a significant strength. The captain of the Vietnamese women's football team left Huynh Nhu on the bench so that Hai Yen could start, and goalkeeper Khong Thi Hang could replace Kim Thanh, showing that Mr. Chung knows his opponent and is very confident in the people he uses.
With the support of a large home crowd, Cambodia played quite well in the first minutes of the match. The home team showed significant progress compared to the 31st SEA Games. Coach Gao Fulin's players have relatively good technique, know how to coordinate attacks and play confidently. However, overall, they are still far behind the reigning SEA Games champions, so they cannot create a surprise.
The joy of victory of Vietnamese girls
Van Su's opening goal after My Anh's acceleration and beautiful pass showed the class of the Vietnamese women's team. A quick and well-prepared attack on the left flank left the Cambodian defense unable to stop it. After Van Su's goal, the Vietnamese girls played better and more coherently, and Hai Yen and Thuy Trang easily scored 3 goals in just the first 45 minutes.
In the second half, despite sending Huynh Nhu, Thu Thuong, Hoang Thi Loan, Duong Thi Van, Tuyet Dung onto the field, coach Mai Duc Chung instructed his players to play slower to conserve their energy and avoid injuries and cards. Although they did not attack as much as in the first half, Vietnam still scored a late goal from the 11m mark by Huynh Nhu to seal the 4-0 score. The victory over Cambodia not only demonstrated the superior class of the Vietnamese girls but also showed that coach Mai Duc Chung had a fairly even squad, with not much of a gap between the reserve and starting positions.
Vietnamese girls are only one match away from the 32nd SEA Games gold medal.

In the final match on May 15, the Vietnamese women's team will meet Myanmar - the opponent who surprisingly defeated Thailand 4-2 in the second semi-final match also last night. In the group stage, the Vietnamese girls easily defeated Myanmar with a score of 3-1, so they will play more confidently when meeting this opponent again. However, coach Mai Duc Chung cautiously said that the results in the qualifying round and the nature of the final match are completely different. Myanmar is in high spirits after defeating Thailand and remember that they also won against the Philippines, so the Vietnamese players must not be subjective and need to prepare the best for the final match.
The women's football final will take place at the Olympic Stadium at 7:30 p.m. on May 15. If they win, the Vietnamese women's football team will win the SEA Games gold medal for the 8th time, and the 4th consecutive championship in this arena.
