There was no limit to substitutions, so both teams had the opportunity to experiment tactically.

The Spanish players scored two goals in the first half and seven more goals in the second half.

The results are predictable and the game has taught the Vietnamese players and their coach, Mai Duc Chong, lessons as they take on a world-class opponent.

Speaking after the match, Mai Duk Chung said the whole team tried hard, but the weakness of the players was that they didn’t have enough communication on the field.

Coach Mai Duk Chung made several changes to test most positions before officially participating in the 2023 Women’s World Cup final. Players who had not or rarely played in the past were used in the second half.

The coach said that the Vietnamese players did not play well in the second half but it was a test.

Before playing Spain, Vietnam lost 1-2 to Germany and 0-2 to New Zealand. The team has just over a week to prepare for their opening match against defending champions USA on July 22 at Eden Park in Auckland City.

Next, Vietnam will face Portugal on July 27 at Waikato Stadium in Hamilton, New Zealand. In the final round of the group stage, Vietnam will meet the Netherlands in 1^any August at Dunedin Stadium in Dunedin, New Zealand.
