Half-time rally key to Vietnam win, says Van Su

Chonburi: Vietnam ace Ngan Thi Van Su has revealed that a rousing half-time talk was key to her side’s 2-0 win over Thailand at the AFC U-19 Women’s Championship Thailand 2019 on Sunday.

Despite seeing their opponents dominate much of the first period, Vietnam held the hosts at bay throughout an entertaining opening 45 minutes at a damp Chonburi Stadium.

However, after a spirited dressing-room discussion between both players and head coach Ijiri Akira, Nguyen Thi Tuyet Ngan’s penalty and a late strike from Van Su subsequently saw Vietnam seal a crucial opening day success – a victory which leaves the 2004 quarter-finalists occupying second spot in the Group A standings.
