Southeast Asian Championship: Vietnam Women's Team Scores a Rain of Goals Against Singapore

The Singapore team has never been highly regarded in women's football tournaments in Southeast Asia. And after many years, the level of the girls from the Lion Island has not improved significantly, as evidenced by their crushing defeat in the opening match against the host team Vietnam.

As expected, the home team completely controlled the game against Singapore. The away team was so weak that there was hardly any well-planned situation towards Kieu Trinh's goal. And of course, in that situation, the Vietnam team turned this match into a practice match. The home team's goal-scoring storm started in the 3rd minute. Singapore's net shook for the first time after a well-planned arrangement that put Nguyen Thi Muon in front of goalkeeper Binte and the striker's tricky shot gave Binte no chance to block.

Four minutes later, Binte's mistake in catching the ball allowed Nguyen Thi Hoa to double the gap for the home team.

Not stopping there, within 20 minutes from 15 to 35, the home team scored 3 more goals. The scorer was only one name, striker Nguyen Thi Muon. Seeing the Vietnamese players "play" with the away team with tricks like going into an empty space, the fans who witnessed the match could not help but laugh.

By the 35th minute, the score was 5-0 for the home team. On average, every 7 minutes, coach Tran Van Phat's players forced Binte to pick the ball out of the net once. The goals mostly came from well-organized attacks, making the audience very satisfied.

The second half was no different from the first half when the ball only rolled on the away team's field. The Vietnamese girls created dozens of opportunities towards Binte's goal. And another rain of goals created by the home team towards the away team was inevitable.

In the 48th minute, Minh Nguyet decisively shot to defeat Binte for the sixth time. This player scored two more goals in the 50th and 58th minutes to complete his hat-trick in this match.

In between Minh Nguyet's two goals was Tuyet Dung. In the 80th minute, the home team scored their 10th goal thanks to defender Nguyen Thi Xuyen.

With 10 goals for the audience, the Vietnamese women's team had a gift that satisfied the fans present at Thong Nhat Stadium. Watching the performance of coach Tran Van Phat and his team in this match, although the opponent was too weak, we can expect the home team in the campaign to reclaim the throne of regional football in this tournament.

In the previous match in Group A, Myanmar beat the Philippines 3-0. Thus, after the first round, Vietnam is temporarily leading the group, with 3 points like Myanmar but with a better goal difference.
