VHO - Commenting on the match between Vietnam women's and Thailand women's, competing for 3rd place in the Southeast Asian Women's Football Championship, coach Mai Duc Chung and his team are determined to win on the final day.

The Vietnamese women's team entered the semi-finals with high expectations. Coach Mai Duc Chung and his team won all the matches in the group stage and are full of enthusiasm towards the goal of becoming the Southeast Asian champion for the fourth time.

However, although they had imagined the challenges in the encounter with the Australian women's team (U23), Huynh Nhu and her teammates probably did not fully anticipate the difficulties the team would face. The opponent was young, strong, had superior physique, and possessed a good foundation in both individual technique and tactical vision.

Therefore, the female Golden Star Warriors were somewhat overwhelmed in the early stages of the match. After conceding two consecutive goals, Coach Mai Duc Chung's students woke up and tried to attack, but could only hold on to a little hope thanks to Bich Thuy's goal in the 88th minute.

The goal that narrowed the gap came too late, making it impossible for the Vietnamese women's team to turn the tables and accept a 1-2 defeat. However, the journey at the 2025 Southeast Asian Women's Championship for coach Mai Duc Chung and his team has not yet ended. We still have the third-place match with Thailand, and the team also had to accept a similar result against Myanmar.

Despite being sad after having to stop in the semi-finals, the Vietnamese women's team promised not to let their spirit affect the final match. At least, the opponent of Chuong Thi Kieu and her teammates will be a familiar name and one that the girls in red shirts defeated 1-0 in the group stage.

Experience and home advantage still give the Vietnamese women's team a big advantage. Coach Mai Duc Chung himself encouraged his players to do their best to win the bronze medal. "We understand the Thai women's team very well, so the whole team needs to play tight and enter the game well to aim for victory."

With a young squad and a relaxed mentality, the Thai women's team may not be as tight-knit as they were in the group stage. Therefore, the Vietnamese women's team still cannot be complacent and needs to limit the fast-paced attacks on both flanks of the duo Jinantuya and Poomsri.

Just play with high concentration, the possibility of winning 3rd place overall is within reach of the female Golden Star Warriors.
