Unfortunately, losing to Thailand, the Vietnamese women’s futsal team won a silver medal
Unable to get at least a draw against Thailand in the decisive match, the Vietnamese women’s futsal team received a silver medal at the 31st SEA Games. This is the fifth silver medal of Vietnamese women’s futsal at the SEA Games.
In the final round-robin tie of the tournament, both teams had gone into the match on the same six points from two matches played.
With what at stake, it came as no surprise that Thailand and Vietnam were cautious at the start as they played out a goalless draw in the first half.
The game came alive into the second half, with Patitta Moolpho grabbing the opener in the 25thminute as Sasicha Phothiwong then added the second goal three minutes later.
And while Trinh Ngoc Hoa managed to score Vietnam’s first goal in the 32nd minute, it came just a tad late for a revival as Thailand romped to their fifth consecutive SEA Games title.
In the meantime, Malaysia took the bronze medal with a 3-3 draw against Myanmar.
The Malaysians were on target off a double from Intan Sarahanisah (1st and 23rd minute) and Siti Asnidah (39th) as Myanmar replied through May Thet Paing (9th), an own goal from Siti Asnidah in the 16th minute and Yun Me Me Lwin (20th).
