This bonus is not only of material significance, but it also serves as a source of moral encouragement for the players to perform with more determination in the knockout stage of the SEA Games 33.

For the Vietnam U22 team, coach Kim Sang-sik's players entered the match against Malaysia with a determined spirit to win and secure first place in Group B.

Immediately after the opening whistle, the red-shirted team launched an attack and scored two goals in less than 30 minutes thanks to Hieu Minh and Minh Phuc. Notably, Dinh Bac provided two assists.

At the 33rd SEA Games, the star player from Hanoi Police FC has scored 2 goals and provided 2 assists. Based on his performances, Dinh Bac is expected to continue shining and help the Vietnam U22 team achieve their goal of winning the gold medal.

With a comfortable 2-0 victory over Malaysia, Vietnam U22 has risen to the top of Group B with 6 points after two matches. In the semi-finals, the red-shirted team will face the Philippines U22 – the winner of Group C.

As for the Vietnamese women's team, the unexpected loss to the Philippines means that the team led by coach Mai Duc Chung must win against Myanmar to advance to the next round.

Under that pressure, the Vietnamese women's team proactively pushed their formation forward and played a pressing game right after the opening whistle, creating a dominant position against their opponents.

After the first 15 minutes of the first half, the girls in red had already put the ball into the net twice against Myanmar thanks to goals from Van Su and Bich Thuy. With a two-goal lead, the Vietnamese women's team played more comfortably for the remainder of the match and maintained the score.
