With a disappointing 0-1 loss to the Philippines, the Vietnamese women's team now only have one option left: defeat Myanmar in the final group stage match to secure a place in the semi-finals of the SEA Games 33. A draw or a loss would mean an early exit from the regional sporting event for Coach Mai Duc Chung's team.

Defeating Myanmar will not be easy, as the Vietnamese women's team has beaten Malaysia and especially the Philippines. Based on their current performance, Myanmar shows very thorough preparation for the SEA Games 33.

The Vietnamese women's team must win against Myanmar.

In reality, Myanmar's playing style isn't very diverse, relying mainly on strength and abundant physical fitness. This team caused the Philippines, with their squad of naturalized players, a lot of difficulties. Despite having 6 points, Myanmar is not yet guaranteed a place in the next round, so naturally they will play their best against the Vietnamese women's team.

For his part, coach Mai Duc Chung affirmed that the Vietnamese women's team still has a chance to advance. He even suggested that if they win against Myanmar, Huynh Nhu and her teammates could secure first place in the group due to their superior goal difference.

Preparing for the decisive match, the Vietnamese women's team received encouragement from the leaders of the Vietnamese Sports Delegation and the VFF. Coach Mai Duc Chung and his team declared their readiness to play the match with the highest spirit, advance to the semi-finals, and aim to defend their gold medal.

With the need to win, the Vietnamese women's team is meticulously refining their attacking strategies. In addition, Huỳnh Như and her teammates have been improving their finishing skills in recent training sessions.

The match between the Vietnam women's team and the Myanmar women's team will take place at 4 PM on December 11th at Chonburi Stadium, Thailand. It will be a very difficult match, but this is the moment when the character of the team that has won the gold medal four times in a row must be shown.

Vietnam women's team's expected lineup: Kim Thanh, Hai Yen, Thu Thuong, Nguyen Hoa, Truc Huong, Hai Linh, Tran Duyen, Thanh Nha, Van Su, Bich Thuy, Huynh Nhu
