After 2 weeks of gathering at the Vietnam Youth Football Training Center, coach Mai Duc Chung decided to launch the strongest force into the field from the beginning with names like Huynh Nhu, Thuy Trang, Bich Thuy, Hai Linh, Kim Thanh...
In the first 10 minutes of the first half, the Vietnamese women's team actively held the ball and played quickly to preempt the opponent. The next time of the half, the game becomes more balanced and attractive when the two teams play a double attack.
In the middle of the first half, Huynh Nhu brought home the opening goal of the match. From a smart move to break the offside trap, Huynh Nhu received Tuyet Dung's pass and headed the goal. With the advantage of taking the lead, the Vietnamese women's team actively reduced the tempo of the match to ensure fitness in hot weather.

With the female team playing at the same time, the former player quickly equalized the score in the 40th minute. From a situation of free kick hitting the crossbar, the former SEA Games player's striker cushioned the ball close to the wall to bring home the goal. At the end of the first half, the Vietnamese women's team drew 1-1 with the former 1 SEA Games player.
Entering the second half, coach Mai Duc Chung made some changes in personnel when launching Duong Thi Van, Thanh Nha, Chuong Thi Kieu, Hai Yen to replace Diem My, Thuy Trang, Huynh Nhu and Tuyet Dung.
With the new personnel, the Vietnamese women's team ensures their fitness and continues an attractive double performance with the team of former players. In the last minutes of the match, the Vietnamese women's team showed their superiority in physical strength when Ngan Thi Van Su entered the field as a substitute. The 22-year-old striker quickly scored his own brace to close the match with the final score 3-1.
