The victory gave Vietnam its third gold medal of the Games, lifting the country from 21st to 19th in the overall medal standings on the 13th day of competition, with three golds, three silvers and 19 bronzes.
The result was particularly significant as Vietnam successfully defended the women's quadrant title won at Asiad 19, reaffirming the country's standing in women's sepak takraw at the continental level.
