Vietnam National Team 0-3 Korea National Team: Useful lessons
Playing bravely in the first half, but due to exhaustion, plus individual mistakes in the second half, the Vietnamese women's team let their opponent, South Korea, score 3 goals in a row, ending the 17th Asian Games in fourth place.

Like the semi-final match against Japan, the Vietnamese women's team entered the match with a relaxed spirit. In addition, the team's formation was also maintained reasonably. In the first 45 minutes, the Vietnamese women's team blocked the power of Korea. We even have to praise the female players because we created a tight game, making Korea's intention of winning quickly fail.
In the second half, Korea continued to push up the formation while Vietnam remained loyal to the defensive counter-attack strategy. It can be seen that the home team was still better than our girls in ball control and especially physical strength. Korea continuously made moves and passed the ball at high speed and thanks to that, they opened the score in the 55th minute. However, this was a lucky shot rather than Hahnul's intention outside the penalty area. The ball went low into the far corner, too difficult for Kieu Trinh.

After the goal, Korea did not expect that they would score two more goals in the easiest way, with the same scenario: Goalkeeper Kieu Trinh caught the ball and their players rushed in to kick it back. The goal to make the score 2-0 was Seolbin's and 3-0 belonged to Heeyoung.
It was a pity for Kieu Trinh because in the first half, she played very impressively with 2 miraculous saves to save the Vietnamese team. Perhaps her declining physical strength caused Kieu Trinh to lose concentration and not be able to maintain her best ball sense.
Thus, the Vietnamese women's team did not create any surprises in the bronze medal match against Korea. However, with the 4th place overall, we can be confident in the performance of coach Mai Duc Chung and his team. This is certainly a useful tournament, helping the Vietnamese women's players gain experience and accumulate the necessary provisions for the future.
