The Vietnamese women's national team is following the same path that led to their victory at the 32nd SEA Games.

VHO - The 2-0 victory against Myanmar to advance to the semi-finals of the SEA Games 33 is a strong affirmation that the Vietnamese women's team remains a top contender for the gold medal.

Facing immense pressure and the need to win, the Vietnamese girls once again demonstrated the mettle of champions and the unwavering will of warriors by brilliantly defeating Myanmar in the final match of Group B, thus proudly advancing to the semi-finals of the SEA Games 33.

The Vietnamese women's team (in red jerseys) overcame difficulties to reach the semi-finals.

Interestingly, during their SEA Games 32 championship run two years ago, the Vietnamese girls also lost to the Philippines (1-2) and then won against Myanmar (3-1) in the group stage, after which they won against host Cambodia 4-0 in the semi-finals and won 2-0 against Myanmar in the final.

And this year, the journey that coach Mai Duc Chung and his team took through the group stage unfolded in a similar manner, which could be a sign that they will replicate their path to the championship as they did in Cambodia in 2023.

The solid basis for believing that "The Diamond Girls" can achieve this is the resilience and unwavering fighting spirit of Vietnamese women.

This was clearly demonstrated when, within the first 15 minutes of the match against Myanmar, the Vietnamese women's team stunned Myanmar with two goals.

Van Su (number 21), who is only slightly taller than 1.5 meters, had an impressive aerial duel to open the scoring in the match.

Van Su and Bich Thuy, the two smallest players on the Vietnamese women's national team – both just over 1.5 meters tall – scored two goals with their heads inside the penalty area, against the tall and strong opposing defenders.

This is proof that Vietnamese girls, once they step onto the field, can achieve anything.

What's even more noteworthy is the mindset of the Vietnamese players at this crucial moment. Gone is the impatience seen in the match against the Philippines; instead, there's a calm demeanor, tactical discipline, and a burning desire to prove their worth.

Despite facing the pressure to win, the "Diamond Girls" maintained their composure, something not every team can do in a decisive match like this.

In addition, coach Mai Duc Chung and the coaching staff also played a crucial role in devising sound tactics, adjusting the pace of the game at the right time, and instilling the necessary confidence in the entire team.

The Vietnamese girls are very confident that they can successfully defend their "queen" title.

Cohesion in gameplay and team spirit were the strengths that helped the Vietnamese women's team overcome the pressure in this "do or die" match.

The Vietnamese women's team not only completed their task in the group stage, but also sent a strong statement to the rest of the tournament that they are ready for the semi-finals and to conquer the SEA Games 33 gold medal.

This result didn't come from luck, but from the courage, willpower, and unwavering determination that always burned in the hearts of the "Diamond Girls."

With this spirit, fans have every reason to believe that the Vietnamese girls will continue to write a beautiful story at the SEA Games 33 - a story of pride, of Vietnamese willpower, and of the aspiration to reach the pinnacle of regional success.
