The score didn’t reflect the whole game as Vietnam were dominating most of the time. Myanmar failed to create any considerable changes, aside from a long-distance shot by captain Khin Malar Tun or a header by Win Theigi Tun. In the first 15 minutes, Pham Hai Yen faced the Myanmar keeper two times but couldn’t finish. Tran Thi Thuy Trang also had two chances in the second half to shoot inside the box but didn’t hit the target. The difference came in the 28th minute. From a cross of Nguyen Thi Tuyet Dung, captain Huynh Nhu got a reverse header that glided the ball into the far corner, out of the keeper’s reach. This is Huynh Nhu’s first goal in SEA Games 31 but it’s an important one that took Vietnam to the final. The opponent of Vietnam in the final is once again Thailand.

The United States is averaging nearly 97,000 new cases a day, up from about 73,000 a week ago, according to a Reuters tally.
