Despite their efforts, coach Okiyama Masahiko and his team still suffered a 1-3 defeat and will enter the third-place match on August 29.
Entering the match, coach Okiyama continued to use the 4-2-3-1 formation with some personnel changes compared to the match against Myanmar.
However, the U16 Vietnam women's team soon encountered difficulties when in the 6th minute, the opponent took advantage of a mistake in defense to open the score to 1-0.
Just 10 minutes later, the red team promptly brought the match back to balance when a chaotic situation in the penalty area helped Vietnam equalize 1-1.
However, the advantage did not last long. At the end of the first half, U16 Thai women's team took advantage of the better opportunity to score 2 goals in a row, ending the first 45 minutes with a 3-1 advantage.
In the second half, the U16 Vietnam women's team made many adjustments to personnel and proactively increased the squad to seek opportunities to shorten the gap.
The young players created some notable combinations but were not sharp enough to defeat Pimlapat's defense and goalkeeper.
In the final minutes, despite persistent attacks, the Reds could not create a turning point and accepted a 1-3 defeat in the end.
With this result, the U16 Vietnam women's team will enter the third-place match taking place at 3:30 p.m. on August 29.
The opponent of coach Okiyama Masahiko and his team will be determined after the remaining semi-final match between the host U16 Indonesia women's team and U16 Australia women's team.
