Not the Vietnamese women's team, this is the most disappointing Southeast Asian team

On October 26, four matches in the second qualifying round of the 2024 Paris Olympics took place.

Notably, three Southeast Asian teams, the women's teams of Vietnam, Thailand and the Philippines, all took the field.

In the earliest match, the Thai women's team faced off against a highly rated opponent, South Korea.

As expected, after the opening whistle, the Korean team poured out their troops to attack, while Thailand could only huddle together to defend.

Despite playing with a very low squad, the Thai team could only hold out until the 35th minute before conceding the first goal by young talent Casey Phair.

Also from this point on, the Thai women's team began to fall apart when they continuously conceded 9 more goals in the remaining time.

After many efforts, it was not until the extra minutes of the second half that the "War Elephants" found an honorary goal thanks to Moondong.

With this disappointing opening performance, the Thai women's team has almost no hope of getting a ticket to the third qualifying round because in this group there are two other big teams waiting for them, China and North Korea.

As for the Vietnamese women's team, coach Mai Duc Chung and his team also did not play well when they lost 0-1 to their direct competitor for second place, Uzbekistan.

Although there are still two matches left to play, with this result, the chance of Huynh Nhu and her teammates going further is very small.

Meanwhile, the Philippine women's team had an unexpectedly successful match when they defeated Taiwan (China) with a score of 4-1.
