On the evening of December 8, the Vietnam women's team faced the Philippines women's team in the second round of the 33rd SEA Games group stage. Despite their efforts to attack and create quite good pressure against the opponent, Huynh Nhu and her teammates could not score.
The Philippines team collapsed in the last minute of extra time, taking advantage of the opportunity to score the only goal, winning 1-0 against the Vietnam women's team.
This result is a regrettable thing for coach Mai Duc Chung's team, especially in the context of fierce competition between the candidates in Group B.
Before that, in the early match, the Myanmar women's team had their second consecutive win against the Malaysia women's team with a score of 3-0.
With these results, the Myanmar women's team continues to lead Group B of the 33rd SEA Games with 6 points (number coefficient +4). Meanwhile, the Vietnam women's team ranked second in the group with 3 points (number factor +6).
The 3rd place belongs to the Philippines women's team with 3 points (a goal difference of 0) and the Malaysia team was officially eliminated after 2 losses.
This situation forced coach Mai Duc Chung's team to win against Myanmar in the final match to secure a place in the semi-finals at this year's Congress.
