Having secured a place in the SEA Games semi-finals, the Vietnamese women's team and U22 team received substantial rewards.

(Dan Tri Newspaper) - Both Vietnamese football teams secured their places in the semi-finals of the SEA Games 33 this afternoon (December 11th) as group winners. The Vietnam Football Federation (VFF) awarded well-deserved bonuses to the women's national team and the U22 Vietnamese team.

The Vietnamese women's football team defeated Myanmar 2-0 in a match held this afternoon in Chonburi. This victory puts Coach Mai Duc Chung's team at the top of Group B in the women's football competition. The Philippines finished second, while Myanmar was eliminated.

More importantly, this victory helps the Vietnamese women's football team avoid the host nation Thailand in the semi-finals. Coach Mai Duc Chung's team will only have to face the weaker opponent Indonesia in the semi-finals on December 14th.

Securing a place in the semi-finals helped coach Mai Duc Chung relieve the stress of the past few days, following the 0-1 defeat to the Philippines on December 8th. Immediately after the match, the Vietnam Football Federation (VFF) awarded the Vietnamese women's football team 700 million VND.

As for the Vietnam U22 team, coach Kim Sang Sik's team also secured a place in the semi-finals of the men's football event, finishing first in Group B.

Vietnam U22 comfortably defeated Malaysia U22 2-0 in a match held this afternoon at the Rajamangala Stadium in Bangkok.

The Vietnam U22 team was awarded 600 million VND by the VFF for reaching the semi-finals. Compared to the women's football team, the path to the semi-finals for the Vietnam U22 team was less challenging, as coach Kim Sang Sik's players only played two matches in the group stage (the women's team played three matches).
