Defeating Thailand's women's team 2-1, Vietnam's women's team made a miracle at Asiad

Not only did they avenge their two defeats to the Thai women's team, but their 2-1 victory over this opponent also helped the Vietnamese women's team reach the semi-finals at the Asiad for the first time.

The Vietnamese women's team has made its name in the history of national football.

Goal

Vietnam women's team:Thi Lieu 53', Tuyet Dung 67'.

Thailand women's team:Romyen 51'.

The Thai women's team was superior in many aspects, so the Vietnamese women's team accepted to give up the game to their opponents to play "concrete" on their home field. Facing such a multi-layered defense system, the Thai women's team had a time when they controlled the ball up to 67% but still rarely "broke" the very solid defense of Mr. Mai Duc Chung's team. With such a completely inferior game, the Vietnamese women's team had no chance to approach the opponent's goal.

But breaking that deep defensive style forced the Vietnamese women's team to pay the price right at the beginning of the second half. Taking advantage of a high attack from the Vietnamese women's defense, Romyen made a sprint right in the middle of the field and easily defeated goalkeeper Kieu Trinh to break the balance in the 51st minute.

However, the Vietnamese women's team unexpectedly scored an equalizer later on. From a pass from Minh Nguyet, Nguyen Thi Lieu took a long-range shot, sending the ball into the low corner of the opponent's goal, bringing the match back to the starting line.
The goal was a morale booster for Mai Duc Chung's team, so Ngoc Anh and her teammates played with great confidence. Although they controlled the ball less, the Vietnamese women's team's attacks were very sharp. In the 65th minute, Nguyen Thi Nguyet was fouled in the penalty area after a sprint. However, Tuyet Dung's shot was too soft, hitting the position of goalkeeper Boonsing, missing a clear scoring opportunity from the 11m mark for the Vietnamese women's team.

But it seemed that this missed shot would make Tuyet Dung lose her spirit. But just 2 minutes later, this midfielder made up for his mistake with a close-range tap-in to give the home team the lead for the first time.

During the remaining time, the Vietnamese women's team had to endure great pressure from the Thai women's team. However, with a strong mentality and the ability to cover each other very tightly, Kieu Trinh's net was kept intact. If they had taken better advantage of the opportunity, the Vietnamese women's team would have had another goal. That was the situation of Nguyen Thi Nguyet in the 90th minute, in a very open position but this striker sent the ball over the bar.

But the 2-1 score also helped the Vietnamese women's team make a miracle by entering an Asiad for the first time.
