In the 26th minute, captain Huynh Nhu missed a chance to open the score from a kick near the 16.5m line.

Entering the second half, the Vietnamese players continued to challenge Myanmar defenders.

In the 62nd minute, Ngan Thi Van Su successfully headed the ball into the goal from a good pass by Bich Thuy.
