Chen Yun Fat’s students played on an upper hand over their opponents, forcing Malaysia to play on the defence during the majority of the game.
Vietnam enjoyed an early lead thanks to the opener by striker Minh Nguyet in the 10th minute.
Tuyet Dung doubled their advantage nine minutes into the second half before Minh Nguyet and Huynh Nhu scored two additional goals to wrap up an overwhelming semi-finals victory for Vietnam.
This is Vietnam’s third victory in a row at this year’s SEA Games, following their 7-0 triumph over the Philippines and 1-0 win over hosts Myanmar in the group-stage qualification.
In the other semi-final match, the Thai goalkeeper produced an excellent showing to help her team beat hosts Myanmar 9-8 in a tense penalty shoot-out to join Vietnam in tomorrow’s final.
