Pre-match information
The race in Group B of the 33rd SEA Games women's football became tense as all 4 teams still had a chance to enter the semi-finals.
After two matches, the Myanmar women's team leads with 6 points with a goal difference of +4. Meanwhile, the Vietnamese and Philippine women's teams both have 3 points, but Vietnam is second in the group thanks to a better goal difference (+6 compared to 0).
For coach Mai Duc Chung and his team, the 0-1 defeat to the Philippines in the final minutes made the journey to defend the gold medal more difficult.
To avoid falling into a position of dependence on the results of the Philippines - Malaysia pair, the Vietnam women's team must decide for themselves by defeating Myanmar. This is not an easy challenge, but it is not the first time Huynh Nhu and her teammates have faced it.
For nearly 2 decades since the loss in 2005, the Vietnam women's team has often achieved favorable results against Myanmar. Most recently, at the 32nd SEA Games, coach Mai Duc Chung's team defeated this opponent twice in the group stage and final.
