CHONBURI (8 December 2025) – The Philippines pulled off a surprise win over defending champions Vietnam 1-0 in Group B to revive their hopes of a place in the semifinals of the Women’s Football event here at the SEA Games 2025.
After their unimpressive start to the campaign this year, when the Philippines fell to Myanmar in the group opener a few days earlier, the match against Vietnam could not have been more crucial.
But with both teams not letting up for almost the entire exchange, the winner came by way of who else but Mallie Ramirez, who delivered it right at the end (90th+4).
The win saw the Philippines move up to second place as Vietnam are third.
In the meantime, Myanmar stayed top of Group B after demolishing Malaysia 3-0 for their second full points from two matches.
San Thaw Thaw nailed the opener after 25 minutes to be followed by goals from May Htet Lu (35th minute) and Win Theingi Tun (64th).
