HA NOI — Viet Nam won a bronze medal after beating Myanmar 3-0 in the play-off of the AFF Women’s Championships at Jaka Baring Stadium in Indonesia on Friday.
In the 10th minute, midfielder Nguyen Thi Tuyet Dung scored the opener for Viet Nam, and allowed the team to get on the front foot, but Pham Hoang Quynh, captain Huynh Nhu and Nguyen Thi Lieu were all unable to beat Myanmar goalie Zar Zar Myint.
After the break, Vietnamese coach Mai Duc Chung made some changes and rookie Nguyen Thi Van doubled the score for Viet Nam in the 68th minute.
Just a few minutes later, taking full advantage of a defensive error, striker Pham Hai Yen added a third, and despite their efforts, Myanmar were unable to get on the scoresheet.
Today, Viet Nam will return home to prepare for the Asian Games to be held in Indonesia in August. — VNS
