Pre-match information

The opponent of coach Mai Duc Chung and his team is the Thai women's team. The Golden Temple team also lost to Myanmar in the semi-finals with the same score.
The Vietnam women's team once met Thailand in the group stage. At that time, Huynh Nhu and her teammates defeated their opponents 1-0 to win the top spot in Group A. This is also what the Vietnamese team is aiming for in the upcoming decisive match.
Thailand brought a young squad to the 2025 Southeast Asian Women's Football Championship. They are not bad but are still inexperienced, easily overwhelmed by big teams.
In this rematch, coach Mai Duc Chung will likely adjust the squad to be more attacking. In addition to Huynh Nhu still playing the main striker role, My Anh can play left-back and provide an effective cross-ball solution, Thu Thao will appear on the familiar right wing to replace Tran Thi Duyen.
In midfield, Tran Thi Hai Linh and Nguyen Thi Van deserved to be given opportunities after their performances. Hai Linh showed his strength, supporting the defense and Nguyen Thi Van provided many soft passes.
The option named Pham Hai Yen is ready to enter the field in the second half to increase the attack. The striker of Hanoi club always creates highlights thanks to his impressive aerial ability, his playing style is based on strength and will be effective in the final minutes.
