Convincingly defeating Thailand, the Vietnamese women's team won 3rd place in Southeast Asia

(Dan Tri) - The Vietnamese women's team convincingly won 3-1 against Thailand in the third-place match of the 2025 Southeast Asian Women's Football Championship, which took place on the afternoon of August 19 at Lach Tray Stadium (Hai Phong).

Coach Mai Duc Chung is confident he will defeat the Thai women's team.

Coach Mai Duc Chung said: “In the recent semi-final match against U23 Australia, the Vietnamese women's football team tried their best, but the opponent was too strong. Although we played better in the second half, football is sometimes cruel like that. The Vietnamese women's football team still has a third-place match ahead. I reminded the players to practice seriously for the upcoming match. We will fight with the highest spirit.”

Speaking about the upcoming match, Coach Mai Duc Chung shared: “The Vietnamese women’s football team is trying to learn from the mistakes of past matches. I have pointed out the strengths and weaknesses of my players.”

“I hope that in the third-place match, my players will limit their mistakes. I hope the Vietnamese women's football team will defeat the Thai women's team once again,” coach Mai Duc Chung expressed his hope.
