In the final minutes of extra time in the match against the German women's team, from a quick counterattack, Thanh Nha ran like the wind past the opponent's tall defenders before defeating the UEFA Champions League-winning goalkeeper Frohms with a decisive shot.

It was truly a memorable goal for Thanh Nha. Not only did she score a memorable goal, the 2001-born player also won 5 one-on-one duels, made 1 clearance, 1 interception and 3 successful tackles in the full 90 minutes of play.

Thanh Nha caused a shock in the match against the German women's team

Thanh Nha was given 6.9 points by Sofascore - the highest score in the Vietnamese women's team's midfield. Number 19 even surpassed stars like Sara Dabritz, Lena Lattwein, Laura Freigang of the German team in terms of match statistics. Not only attacking, the 22-year-old girl also has the ability to support defense very well.

With what she showed in the match against the German women's team, Thanh Nha marked her maturity. She is a typical representative of the young generation of Vietnamese women's football talents under coach Mai Duc Chung.

Girl number 19 is coach Mai Duc Chung's trump card at the World Cup

This is not the first time Thanh Nha has shone and left a great mark on the Vietnamese women's team. Previously, in the final match of the 32nd SEA Games against Myanmar, after being brought on in the second half, Thanh Nha made a skillful lob to seal a 2-0 victory for coach Mai Duc Chung's team, thereby creating a historic record of winning 4 consecutive SEA Games gold medals.

This time, the girl from Hanoi also showed her comprehensive ability when facing the opponent ranked 2nd on the FIFA rankings. Facing the world's top goalkeeper, the female player calmly pushed the ball to her weaker foot and then shot very hard into the German team's net.

The two goals and two marks mentioned above have one thing in common: Thanh Nha has become coach Mai Duc Chung's trump card.

Thanh Nha is growing up day by day

No wonder after the sensational match with the German team, Mr. Chung exclaimed: "Nha scored two goals of her life, reaching world class."

Over the past year, Thanh Nha has shown remarkable progress. From being a reserve player for Bich Thuy, now number 19 is always ready to play as a starter for the Vietnamese women's team.

More importantly, coach Mai Duc Chung always knows how to use his students at the right time and place to finish off opponents with Nha's bold sprints and shots.

At the 2023 World Cup, while Chuong Thi Kieu and Huynh Nhu race against time to recover from injuries, Thanh Nha is expected to be a powerful weapon for the Vietnamese women's team.

And, who knows, the "border tornado" could continue to "tear the net" of the defending champion USA, the current runner-up Netherlands or Portugal - something that no one could have dreamed of.
