In the final minutes of extra time in the match against the German women's team, from a quick counterattack, Thanh Nha ran like the wind past the opponent's tall defenders before defeating the UEFA Champions League-winning goalkeeper Frohms with a decisive shot.
It was truly a memorable goal for Thanh Nha. Not only did she score a memorable goal, the 2001-born female player won 5 one-on-one duels, had one clearance, one interception and 3 successful tackles in the full 90 minutes of play.
Thanh Nha received 6.9 points from Sofascore - the highest score among the Vietnamese women's midfielders. Number 19 even surpassed stars like Sara Dabritz, Lena Lattwein, Laura Freigang of the German team in terms of match stats.
Not only attacking, the 22-year-old girl also has excellent defensive support ability.
With what she showed in the match against the German women's team, Thanh Nha marked her maturity. She is a typical representative of the young generation of Vietnamese women's football talents under coach Mai Duc Chung.
This is not the first time Thanh Nha has shone and left a great mark on the Vietnamese women's team.
Previously, in the final match of SEA Games 32 against Myanmar, after being brought on in the second half, Thanh Nha made a skillful lob to seal a 2-0 victory for coach Mai Duc Chung's team, thereby creating a historic record of winning 4 consecutive SEA Games gold medals.
This time, the Hanoi girl also showed her comprehensive ability when facing the opponent ranked second in the FIFA rankings. Facing the world's top goalkeeper, the female player calmly pushed the ball to her weaker foot and then fired a powerful shot into the German net.
The two goals and two marks mentioned above have one thing in common: Thanh Nha has become coach Mai Duc Chung's trump card.
No wonder after the sensational match with the German team, Mr. Chung exclaimed: "Nha scored two goals of her life, reaching world class."
Over the past year, Thanh Nha has shown remarkable progress. From being a reserve player for Bich Thuy, now number 19 is always ready to play as a starter for the Vietnamese women's team.
More importantly, coach Mai Duc Chung always knows how to use his students at the right time and place to "finish off" the opponent with Nha's bold sprints and shots.
At the 2023 World Cup, while Chuong Thi Kieu and Huynh Nhu race against time to recover from injuries, Thanh Nha is expected to be a powerful weapon for the Vietnamese women's team.
And, who knows, the "border tornado" could continue to "tear the net" of the reigning champion USA, the reigning runner-up Netherlands or Portugal, something that no one could have dreamed of.
