In the first set, Zhang Beiwen was the one who won the points. However, Thuy Linh had the composure to play catch-up and draw points with her opponent. In this set, Thuy Linh had opportunities to take the lead but unfortunately lost points in many situations.

When the score was balanced at 19/19, Thuy Linh unexpectedly let Zhang Beiwen play ahead and won 22/20 in regret.

In the end, Nguyen Thuy Linh lost 0-2 and had no chance to enter the next round.

This is the second time Nguyen Thuy Linh has competed at the Olympics. At the 2020 Tokyo Olympics (Japan), she also could not get past the group stage. In this decisive match, Thuy Linh tried her best, but when she could not solve the decisive situation, we understand that losing the match was inevitable.
