The game in the group stage gave the Vietnam women’s team a better view of the opponent in the final. And Myanmar entered the game cautiously, wanting to put the opponent in a hybrid battle and waiting for the opportunity to counterattack. They did not expect, Vietnam actively played attack with the central defenders rising, the midfielders were ready to play pressing, not allowing the opponent to have space.
It seems that coach Mai Duc Chung and his assistants have realized the vast space behind the Myanmar defense. Therefore, the plan to use long passes to take advantage of the speed of the players in attack has been implemented many times. Hai Linh is the “trump card” of the Vietnam women’s team when she only appeared for a few dozen seconds in the match in the group stage. It was Hai Linh who had an accurate long ball for Tuyet Dung to escape to break the offside trap, before passing the ball over the foot of goalkeeper Mya Nyein, helping Huynh Nhu to score in the 12th minute.
The idea of playing football for the Vietnam women’s team was very clear and it caused the Myanmar women’s team to change in the 20th minute, with the introduction of San Thaw Thaw and Mo Mo Tun 20 in place of Lin Myinyt Mo and Pyae Maung, the people are often followed. Myanmar played better and they had a chance in the 23rd minute but Per Khine missed the chance. The match turned to a tug-of-war, at this time, the Vietnam women’s team began to play with more players in the middle of the field to establish a defense system from afar.
Although they did not attack much, every time they hit the ball, Vietnam created waves towards the opponent’s goal. In the 33rd minute, Huynh Nhu turned her feet skillfully like Ronaldo, overtaking defender Ma Ma Soe, but the kick of the captain of the Vietnam team went slightly. Only 3 minutes later, Huynh Nhu dribbled the ball to the bottom and returned it. The ball turned out very smoothly, unfortunately, Thai Thi Thao shot at the wrong center of the ball.
The first half ended with a fragile advantage and the Vietnam women’s team understood that the pressure would double when the second half began. Yes, Myanmar has pushed up the squad in the hope that Vietnam will make mistakes. Head coach Tetsuro Uki’s team played very well, but Mr. Mai Duc Chung’s players proved their level when they knocked out all the opportunities of the opponent.
In order to improve the ability to attack, the Vietnam women’s team brought Thanh Nha and Thu Thuong in the field to replace Bich Thuy and Hai Linh. At this time, the game was still not changed and Myanmar is almost in control of the midfield. In the 69th minute, Marlar Tun made Vietnam’s defenders with a close-in header, fortunately the ball flew out.
Efforts to the extreme, but for the rest of the time, the players of coach Tetsuro Uki had to be helpless against the very focused and disciplined defense of the Vietnam women’s team.
Beating Myanmar with a score of 2-0, the Vietnam women’s team won the SEA Games gold medal for the 8th time and this is also the 4th time in a row that our girl lift to the championship of SEA Games. A record that will take a long time for competitors in the region to break.
With this achievement, the Vietnam women’s team was awarded 2 billion VND by the VFF; The total amount of money awarded by the VFF to the women’s team at the 32nd SEA Games is 3.6 billion.
