The Vietnamese women's team is considered stronger than the host Cambodia. The last time the two teams competed, Huynh Nhu and her teammates won 7-0. The Cambodian women's team has improved in the 32nd SEA Games, but the 0-3 defeat in the final group stage match against Thailand showed the limitations of the host team.
In the group stage, the Vietnamese women's team defeated Malaysia and Myanmar, with scores of 3-0 and 3-1 respectively. However, in the final match, coach Mai Duc Chung's team lost to the Philippines with a score of 1-2. This was the first defeat of the Vietnamese women's team in 10 years at the SEA Games. In the semi-finals, Vietnam needs to play with concentration, because it is not easy to face the pressure from the stands in the Cambodian stadium.

Coach Mai Duc Chung shared: "We have to practice controlling high balls to play better in the next matches. This loss will make the players try harder, especially to strengthen the defense and practice controlling high balls.
I stayed to watch the match to study. I will study the countermeasures to win the semi-finals and reach the final. I will also find a way to counter Thailand. Luckily, we are at the top of the table thanks to a better goal difference. Football is not about winning forever, there are wins and losses. Through this match, we must learn from experience, the players must see their weaknesses to overcome them more strongly."
