Entering the semi-finals of the 33rd SEA Games with the top spot in Group B, the Vietnam women's team will face the second team in Group A, the Indonesia women's team.
In terms of the correlation between the strength and competition experience, coach Mai Duc Chung and his team are rated higher and have many advantages to qualify for the final. The team from the archipelago did not have a smooth start when it lost heavily to Thailand in the group stage, but still managed to overcome Singapore to join the group of 4 strongest teams.
The difference between the two teams was clearly shown in the most recent confrontation. At the Southeast Asian Women's Football Championship, the Vietnamese women's team won an overwhelming 7-0 victory over Indonesia.
In that match, the Vietnamese players completely controlled the game, continuously applying pressure and creating a series of dangerous opportunities. The big win reflects their attacking power, superiority in playing organization and competitive spirit.
Returning to the SEA Games, the Vietnam women's team is likely to continue to field the strongest squad to ensure the winning goal. However, the coaching staff also needs to calculate reasonably to save energy for the pillars and avoid unnecessary free kicks.
With stable performance, confidence from the history of confrontations and the goal of defending the championship, the Vietnam women's team has every basis to aim for a convincing victory against Indonesia.
The match between the Vietnamese and Indonesian women's teams in the semi-finals of the 33rd SEA Games will take place at 4:00 p.m. on December 14.
