On the morning of December 9, the Vietnam baseball team entered the fifth round of the 33rd SEA Games, facing an opponent that is considered to be superior in class, the Philippines. Despite careful preparation and determination, coach Park Hyo-chul and his team still encountered many difficulties against the team that is leading the rankings, possessing outstanding individual techniques, throwing, catching and attacking abilities.
The Vietnamese baseball team officially lost its chance to compete for medals at the 33rd SEA Games.
Right in the first half, the Philippines quickly showed their complete dominance. With precise shots and high-speed running, they continuously scored 6 points, creating a large gap and putting heavy psychological pressure on the Vietnamese team. In the following half, the opposing team still maintained their effectiveness in tactics and took full advantage of their opponent's mistakes to widen the gap.
In the second half, the Philippines scored another point, continuing to completely control the match. In the third half, although the Vietnamese team tried to improve their playing style, created some extraordinary situations and won an honorable point, it was not enough to turn the match around.
The Philippines immediately responded with 3 points in this match, proving their superiority in both skills and tactics. The 4th match continued to see the strongest Southeast Asian team add 1 point, ending a series of matches in which they always maintained a steady pace and efficiency in scoring.
After 7 rounds, the Philippines won 21-1 against Vietnam. This was their fourth consecutive win at the 33rd SEA Games, thereby firmly consolidating the No. 1 position on the rankings and almost certainly being in the medal group.
Meanwhile, the Vietnamese baseball team has only had one victory against Malaysia with a score of 5-2. The remaining matches all ended with undesirable results: losing to Thailand 0-16, losing to Laos 0-16 and losing to Singapore 12-16. With only one victory after five matches, Pham Manh Chien and his teammates officially no longer have a chance to enter the top 4, the group of teams qualified to participate in the bronze medal round.
Although they could not advance further, the team is still determined to compete with the highest spirit in the final match against Indonesia. The representative of the archipelago country currently has 2 wins and 2 losses, temporarily ranked 4th on the rankings. This will be the last chance for the Vietnamese team to close the 33rd SEA Games with a positive match, demonstrating the spirit of dedication and determination to build a foundation for the next games.
