AFC Women’s Asian Cup 2022

Losing to Japan 0-3, the Vietnamese women’s team waits for the opportunity in the last match

The Vietnamese women’s team was unable to win points when they had to face a strong opponent like Japan in the second match of Group C of the 2022 AFC Women’s Asian Cup. However, the spirit of the golden star female warriors is still very commendable. Head coach Mai Duc Chung’s team still has the opportunity to continue before the final match of the 2022 AFC Women’s Asian Cup takes place.

Continuing to face a strong opponent in the continent, the Japanese women’s team, the Vietnamese women’s team is consistent with a tight defensive play – a quick counterattack. Unlike the opening match, the Vietnamese women’s team played very concentratedly, causing many difficulties for the opponent for most of the first half. We only conceded 1 goal after Narumiya’s goal.

The second half passed with the scenario not too different from the first 45 minutes. The Japanese women’s team had more opportunities but encountered strong resistance from Vietnamese girls. Huynh Nhu and his teammates played with great effort and enthusiasm in each phase of the ball. The Japanese women’s team got 2 more goals and ended the match with a score of 3-0.

Thus, the Vietnamese women’s team is temporarily ranked third in Group C of the 2022 Asian Women’s Football Cup Finals. The prerequisite for head coach Mai Duc Chung’s team to continue is not to lose to the Myanmar women’s team. The Vietnamese women’s team will wait for more developments in the final match to know if they will win a ticket to the quarter-finals. Anyway, the two brave matches against Japan and Korea have given great confidence to the golden star female warriors. The Vietnamese women’s team has overcome many difficulties caused by the epidemic and brought fans special emotions.
