AFC U17 Women's Asian Cup
The win meant Vietnam finished second in Group A behind China PR, edging Thailand on goal difference after both sides ended with four points.
Myanmar tested Vietnam goalkeeper Tran Thi Cam My as early as the second minute with an effort from just above the area before Shin Thant Phyu Sin Pyone tried her luck from distance three minutes later.
Vietnam were put under pressure again in the seventh minute with Thi Cam My foiling Thae Ei Hlaing’s charge inside the box before responding quickly to deny May Thinzar’s wayward shot.
The missed chances came back to haunt Myanmar in the 18th minute when Nguyen Thi Linh Chi struck a brilliant free-kick, with the ball swerving over the wall and past rooted goalkeeper Saung Pwint Phyu.
Myanmar tried to respond but Thi Cam My was at her best to deny Nguyen Thi Minh Anh in the 22nd minute before Shin Thant Phyu Sin Pyone hit a tame effort just before the half-hour mark, leaving Vietnam with a slim advantage going into the break.
Group A: Vietnam v Myanmar
Item 1 of 8
Myanmar’s hopes of restoring parity suffered a setback in the 55th minute after Vietnam doubled their lead with another curling free-kick, courtesy of Nguyen Thi Ngoc Anh I, who bent her delivery into the top right corner.
Myanmar pulled one back in the 66th minute after Vietnam failed to deal with Chit Pwint Aung’s dangerous cross into the box, leaving Shin Thant Phyu Sin Pyon to lay the ball for Thaw Dar Hnin’s thumping finish.
A second goal, however, eluded them as Vietnam stayed firm to advance to the knockout stage for the first time while Myanmar ended their campaign with three defeats.
