Vietnam reach SEA Games women’s football final with win over Cambodia
Vietnam are set to play the Southeast Asian (SEA) Games women’s football final for the fifth time in a row following their triumph over hosts Cambodia in the semifinals on Friday.
The defending champions, who just won the women’s football gold medal of the delayed 2021 SEA Games in Vietnam in May 2022, started with several substitute and junior players and enjoyed an easy game.
Ngan Thi Van Su, Pham Hai Yen, and Tran Thi Thuy Trang each netted a goal in the first half to give the Vietnamese women’s team a comfortable 3-0 lead.

In the second half, Vietnam decreased their pace and earned one more goal by Huynh Nhu to finish the game 4-0 and advance to the women’s football final for the fifth consecutive time and the tenth time in history.
They will face Myanmar, who came back to defeat Thailand 4-2 in the other semifinal match on the same day, in the final clash at 7:00 pm on Monday.
