Thanh Nha was happy after scoring a beautiful goal against Myanmar to help the Vietnamese women's team win the 32nd SEA Games gold medal.
After the friendly match with the German women's team, Thanh Nha's name took up the most ink in the media. She made an extremely strong impression with her decisive sprint and shot in extra time, defeating the UEFA Champions League-winning goalkeeper Merle Frohms.
However, this was not the only highlight that Thanh Nha created in the match. The female player born in 2001 was placed on the field by coach Mai Duc Chung from the start and played in the right winger position in a 5-3-2 formation.
When facing the German women's team ranked 2nd in the FIFA rankings, Thanh Nha's important task is to support the defense before thinking about attacking.
According to Sofascore, the young girl won 5 one-on-one duels, had 1 clearance, 1 interception and 3 successful tackles.
Thanh Nha has made remarkable progress in the Vietnamese national team.
In fact, among the three midfielders of the Vietnamese women's team, Thanh Nha is the one who does the best job of supporting defense. In the attack phase, Thanh Nha still shows her strongest points.
She often penetrates the opponent's penalty area, giving her teammates more options to coordinate. Thanks to her speed, Thanh Nha can receive long balls out wide and then cross or pass the ball inside (typically in the 54th minute).
Above all, Thanh Nha is the sharp trigger in situations where the Vietnamese women's team quickly switches from defense to attack.

In the 90+3 minute, when the German women's team was busy attacking and lost the ball, Thanh Nha quickly rushed forward, leaving the opposing defenders "in the dust" before decisively shooting into the goal.
Thanks to her solid performance in both defense and attack, Thanh Nha was given 6.9 points by Sofascore. This number is the highest among the midfielders of the Vietnamese women's team and is slightly higher than her famous colleagues on the other side of the front line such as Sara Dabritz, Lena Lattwein and Laura Freigang.
If you follow Thanh Nha throughout her long journey, you can see that she has improved, especially in finishing. When she was playing for the U.16 Vietnam team, she once burst into tears on the field after shooting wide when the goal was empty.
Thanh Nha is a formidable counterattacking card of the Vietnamese women's team.
Now, Thanh Nha has a perfect shot with her weak foot against the German women's team. In the final match of SEA Games 32, she made a skillful lob to seal a 2-0 victory for coach Mai Duc Chung and his team.
In just the first half of 2023, Thanh Nha has scored 3 goals, accounting for 50% of the midfielder's goals for the national team. The numbers and the way Thanh Nha scored goals like in the final of the 32nd SEA Games are clear evidence that the number 19 of the Vietnamese women's team is maturing.
Thanh Nha has proven that she deserves to play more often in the starting lineup for the Vietnamese women's team. Especially at the 2023 Women's World Cup, when coach Mai Duc Chung and his team face strong opponents similar to the German women's team, such as the US, the Netherlands or Portugal, Thanh Nha will have the "space" to explode.
