Vietnam U19 women's team won the Southeast Asian runner-up title
Losing 3-5 on penalties to Thailand, Vietnam's U19 women's team had to accept second place in the 2014 Southeast Asian U19 Women's Championship.
Having lost 1-2 to the host team Thailand in the qualifying round, the Vietnamese team started the game slowly and played solidly. Meanwhile, although the home team dominated the game, they did not take too many risks in pressing in the first minutes.
Although the match took place in such a balanced situation, the goal of the U19 women's team of Vietnam was also faced with storms a few times, and if goalkeeper Hai Yen had not played with concentration, the opposing team would have scored.
In the second half, the heavy rain at Rajamangala Stadium greatly affected the match. Both teams had difficulty in approaching the opponent's goal. Even when the match was temporarily stopped so that the staff could enter the field to fix the problems on the field caused by the rain, the quality of the match did not improve.
