In the final match of Group B, the defending champion Philippines had to beat Myanmar to have any hope of reaching the semi-finals, but failed.

Viet Nam’s national women’s football team secured a dramatic 1–0 victory over Thailand on August 12.

In the 33rd minute, Win Theingi Tun took advantage of the opponent's mistake of losing the ball, forcing goalkeeper Olivia McDaniel to commit a foul in the penalty area, successfully opening the score.

In the 71st minute, Mathelus easily finished to equalise the score 1-1 from Wyrzynski's accurate cross.

Despite creating more opportunities, both teams did not score more goals. This result helped Myanmar maintain the top position in Group B with 7 points, the Philippines ranked third and officially became the former champions. Australia won second place in Group B after a 9-0 victory over Timor-Leste.

In the two semi-final matches on August 16 at Lach Tray Stadium, Myanmar will meet Thailand at 4 p.m., while Viet Nam will face Australia at 8 p.m.
