VHO - In the final match of Group A of the 2025 Southeast Asian Women's Football Championship taking place at Lach Tray Stadium (Hai Phong) tonight, August 12, the Vietnamese women's team defeated the Thai women's team with a score of 1-0.

Starting lineup of host Vietnam

But the Vietnamese women's team only ranked second in Group A after Thailand after two matches. The "Land of the Golden Pagoda" team had the same 7-0 victory over Cambodia and Indonesia respectively to lead thanks to a better goal difference (+14 compared to +13).

With home field advantage, the Vietnamese women's team is determined to win to take the top spot in the group.

Therefore, coach Mai Duc Chung fielded the strongest lineup with the return of captain Huynh Nhu.

The home field advantage helped the Vietnamese women's team play proactively and attack. In the first few minutes, the ball mainly rolled on the away team's field.

There were a lot of fans coming to the stadium to cheer for their team.

The home team created opportunities but could not convert them into goals, the most regrettable being Bich Thuy's face-to-face with the opposing goalkeeper in the 11th minute.

After many efforts, the Vietnamese women's team finally scored the opening goal in the 36th minute. Huynh Nhu dribbled past people on the right wing, then crossed for Thu Thao to volley into the far corner to score 1-0.

In the beginning of the second half, the home team took the initiative to play slowly, passing the ball continuously. Although the Thai women's team was behind, they did not dare to push up their formation to compete.

The Vietnamese women's team (red shirts) outperformed their opponents.

In the middle of the match, the Vietnamese women's team changed a series of faces in the attack when Thanh Nha, Van Su and Hai Yen entered the field.

The home team created a dominant game but did not have a clear scoring opportunity.

Meanwhile, the Thai women's team also did not have many attacks against the tight and scientific defense of the home team.

The joy of victory of Vietnamese girls

Defeating Thailand 1-0, the Vietnamese women's team won first place in Group A with 9 absolute points after 3 wins.

Coach Mai Duc Chung and his team have reached the semi-finals and will meet the second team in Group B (determined after tomorrow's match, August 13) on August 16.
