In the Southeast Asian Games - Women’s match on May 9th, 2023, bettors putting their money on the Vietnamese team were given a run for their money by the Philippines Women's Team, in a thrilling encounter. The Philippines Women's team emerged victorious with a 2-1 victory over Vietnam playing at home.

The first goal of the match, put in by the Philippines just 14 minutes into the game, set the pace of the match. However, it was not until the 41st minute that Vietnam equalized, keeping the end of the first half balanced at 1-1 with both teams showing competencies in their offensive execution.

The second half saw the Philippines scoring the winning goal in the 83rd minute. Following the goal, the Philippines displayed tight defense and tactical gameplay, managing to successfully maintain their lead until the end. This striking event highlighted the team's blend of skillful possession football and clinical finishing.

In the discipline department, Vietnam had two yellow cards, both of which occurred in the first half, while the Philippines accrued one yellow card late in the second half. The relatively disciplined nature of the game indicated a well-controlled match, with no player given a red card, which surely had an effect on the uninterrupted flow of the game.

Observing the corner kicks, Philippines (5) grabbed one more than Vietnam (4), hinting at a slightly more offensive approach from the former. This might have posed additional pressure on Vietnam, thus slightly tilting the match in favor of the Philippines.

To conclude, the key stats that affected the outcome were the early opening goal scored by the Philippines team and their persistent attacks. On the other hand, Vietnam's somewhat aggressive play, evidenced by their two yellow cards, might have led to the loss of focus, primarily in the first half, where both their cautions were booked, which could have indirectly influenced the result in favor of Philippines.

Although both teams exhibited comparable performances, it was the more composed and opportunistic Philippines Women's Team that capitalized on critical moments and secured the win in this challenging encounter.
