2025 Southeast Asian Women's Football Championship Schedule: Vietnam, Thailand race for goal difference

VHO - The second match of Group A of the 2025 Southeast Asian Women's Football Championship will take place this evening, August 9, at Lach Tray Stadium (Hai Phong).

Group A of the tournament has teams from Vietnam, Thailand, Indonesia, Cambodia, competing in a round robin to determine points, selecting the top 2 teams to enter the semi-finals.

Vietnam girls will aim for a big win against Indonesia

In the first match of Group A, both candidates for the championship, Vietnam and Thailand, had big wins against weaker opponents.

Specifically, the Vietnamese girls beat Cambodia 6-0, while the Thai women's team defeated Indonesia 7-0.

This result helps the two teams share the top two positions, but Thailand is ranked higher thanks to a better goal difference (+7 compared to +6).

In the second match today, August 9, the Vietnamese women's team will face Indonesia at 7:30 p.m.

Before that at 4:30 p.m., the Thai girls will play against Cambodia.

With superior strength and power, Vietnam and Thailand are both expected to win.

Group A standings after first round of matches

However, in addition to winning 3 points, both teams will aim to score many goals to gain an advantage in the secondary index.

If Vietnam or Thailand scores more goals and has a better goal difference, they will lead Group A after the second round of matches, thereby only needing a draw in the final match between the two teams on August 12 to win the group and advance to the semi-finals.

Winning Group B will be very important for Vietnam and Thailand, because reaching the semi-finals will avoid defending champion Philippines, the team that is likely to win Group B.

Therefore, in addition to winning 3 points against weaker opponents, both Vietnam and Thailand must calculate reasonably on their journey to the semi-finals.

Group A match schedule on August 9:

16:30: Cambodia – Thailand

19:30: Vietnam – Indonesia
