Despite the big win, the Vietnamese women's team still accepted to finish second in Group A with the same 3 points as Thailand but with a lower goal difference. In the opening match, Thailand won 7-0 against Indonesia.

Commenting on the victory of the Vietnamese women's team, Tribun News (Indonesia) wrote: "The Vietnamese women's team had a successful opening match of the Southeast Asian women's football tournament when they convincingly won 6-0 against Cambodia.

The match could have ended in the 17th minute when the Vietnamese women's team scored 4 goals against Cambodia.

Facing the Vietnamese women's team is a huge challenge for Indonesia. After losing 0-7 to Thailand, the Indonesian girls must win the next match if they do not want to be eliminated early. However, defeating the Vietnamese women's team at this time is a difficult task. Not only are they too strong, but they also receive support from fans."

Another Indonesian newspaper, Tirto, commented: “The Vietnamese women’s team won against Cambodia. In this match, coach Mai Duc Chung’s girls controlled 70% of the game and had 25 shots. Meanwhile, Cambodia only fired once at the goal and missed the target.”

Bola newspaper called the Vietnamese women's team a huge challenge for Indonesia when they face them in the second match. They even worried that the Indonesian women's team could soon stop in the group stage after only two matches.

Thairath (Thailand) newspaper wrote: “The Vietnamese women's team won a big 6-0 victory over Cambodia, but the problem is that Thailand won even bigger. Therefore, the "War Elephants" temporarily lead Group A with the same 3 points but have a better goal difference. These will be the two main teams competing for the top spot in this group.”

The Southeast Asian Football Federation homepage said that coach Mai Duc Chung's team had a strong start when they won 6-0 against Cambodia. Scoring 4 goals in just the first 17 minutes showed the strength of the Vietnamese women's team.

In the second match, the Vietnamese women's team will face Indonesia at 7:30 p.m. on August 9. If we win this match, we will likely get a ticket to the next round.
