Huynh Nhu is filled with emotions

Huynh Nhu shared: "Nhu felt very happy. Before the match, we set a goal to win to show our gratitude to the fans. The audience came to the stadium in large numbers, we were very touched by this and the whole team tried our best. Regarding the goal, I have never scored a goal and seen everyone so happy.

Highlight of Vietnam women's team 3-1 Thailand: Bronze medal for the home team

This is the first goal that Huynh Nhu has scored for the Vietnamese women's team in 2 years. The last time she scored in the red and yellow shirt was in the 3-1 win against the Indian women's team, which took place in October 2023, in the Asian qualifiers for the 2024 Paris Olympics. At the 2025 Southeast Asian Women's Football Championship, many people expected Huynh Nhu to shine, but it was not until the last match that the striker from Tra Vinh scored. This made Huynh Nhu and her teammates emotional. Coach Mai Duc Chung also celebrated enthusiastically after the captain of the Vietnamese women's team scored.

Huynh Nhu had a meaningful celebration on August 19, 2025, the 80th anniversary of the successful August Revolution.
