U.19 Vietnam wins unexpectedly at women's tournament: Meet Thailand in Southeast Asia final?

On the afternoon of June 13 at Thong Nhat Stadium, the U.19 Vietnam women's team faced the U.19 Laos women's team in the final match of Group A of the 2025 Southeast Asian U.19 Women's Championship. Before this match, the U.19 Vietnam women's team was ranked first in Group A with a record of 2 wins, 6 points and a goal difference of +8. Therefore, coach Okiyama Masahiko and his team only need 1 more point to secure a ticket to the semi-finals as the first place in Group A.

Vietnam won the biggest victory since the beginning of the tournament.

The U.19 Vietnam women's team was rated higher and showed complete superiority over the Lao women's players. In more than 45 minutes of the first half, the home team led by 6 goals.

Le Thi Trang was the one who opened the scoring for the U.19 Vietnam women's team very early, when the ball had only been on the field for 5 minutes. After 9 minutes, Le Thi Trang had a double goal, with a technical dribble to eliminate the opposing defenders and finish into the far corner.
