Few people expected that after just one day, the situation would change dramatically. In the final match taking place tonight (November 21), the Vietnamese futsal team played extremely resiliently against a stronger opponent. After 40 minutes ended with a score of 0-0, the two teams entered extra time. Coach Nguyen Dinh Hoang's team excellently defeated Thailand with a score of 2-1 to win the Southeast Asian championship. This is the first time that the Vietnamese women's futsal team has won the Southeast Asian championship. In addition, Vietnamese football also won its first title in 2024. Entering this match, both teams entered the match cautiously. They both understood each other's strength, so they did not dare to push forward in a life-or-death match. It was not until the 13th minute that Thailand had the first shot by Arriya. Vietnamese futsal also had opportunities in the first half by Thuy Linh and Phuong Anh but were unsuccessful.

In the second half, the Thai futsal team took the initiative to attack. They wanted to exhaust the physical strength of the Vietnamese women's futsal team in that situation. However, the Thais' intention was unsuccessful. The Vietnamese futsal team fought back strongly. After 40 minutes of play, the two teams did not score any goals. The match was forced to go into extra time. At this point, the Vietnamese girls' mettle was brought into play. In the 44th minute, Phuong Anh took a side kick that hit a Thai player and flew into the net. In the second extra time, Thailand took the initiative to play power-play (the goalkeeper left the goal to attack). They succeeded when they scored the equalizer in the 47th minute after Thanh Ngan kicked the ball into her own net.
