Defeating Thailand, the Vietnamese women's team won the SEA Games for the 6th time

At the beginning of the match, the Vietnamese women's team started very well and played better in terms of game position. Right in the 6th minute, when observing the Thai goalkeeper moving up, Nguyen Thi Van took a technical shot but the ball hit the crossbar.

The next dangerous situation came in the 15th minute, Tuyet Dung headed the ball in an open position but it went straight to the Thai goalkeeper. From here, the Vietnamese team controlled the game and Thailand was forced to send striker Taneekarn Dangda onto the field but played in the midfield position.

In the rest of the first half, the Vietnamese and Thai teams played tit for tat. Both teams had their chances but none were really clear. The first half ended without any goals being scored.

In the second half, the best chances started to belong to the Thai team. In the 48th minute, the opportunity belonged to striker Taneekarn Dangda but this midfielder finished right at the position chosen by goalkeeper Kim Thanh.

In the 52nd minute, from a cross from the left wing, Taneekarn Dangda jumped high and headed the ball into Kim Thanh's net, but the goal was disallowed due to an offside. Not long after, coach Mai Duc Chung decided to take Nguyen Thi Van off the field to make way for Pham Hai Yen.

Hai Yen's presence helped Vietnam's play become more exciting. However, Thailand still created a few dangerous opportunities. In the 66th minute, Kanyanat headed the ball from close range but Kim Thanh chose the right position to clear the danger from the Vietnamese women's team's goal.

In the 72nd minute, the best chance for the Vietnam team was created. Bich Thuy escaped down the right wing and then crossed the ball to Huynh Nhu. The Vietnamese women's team striker tried to head the ball but it went wide of the Thai goal.

After 90 minutes of regulation, the two teams had to enter extra time to decide the winner. As soon as extra time started, the Vietnamese women's team opened the scoring. From a free kick by Tuyet Dung on the left wing, substitute striker Hai Yen rushed in and headed the ball close to the goal, defeating the Thai goalkeeper.

And in the rest of the match, the Vietnamese girls fought hard to protect their achievements. The match ended with a thrilling 1-0 victory for the Vietnamese women's team. This meant that the 6th gold medal in the history of the SEA Games belonged to coach Mai Duc Chung and his team.
