Hanoi: Australia came back from two goals down to defeat the Philippines 6-2 in their AFC U17 Women’s Asian Cup™ Indonesia 2024 Qualifiers Group A tie at National Youth Football Training Centre on Wednesday. Vietnam were also victorious, defeating Bangladesh 2-0 to close on in a place in the Finals.
Bangladesh 0-2 Vietnam
Bangladesh kept Vietnam at bay for the most part of the first half until Nguyen Ngo Thao Nguyen rose highest to nod home Ngan Thi Thanh Hieu’s corner for the opening goal with four minutes left in the half.
Bangladesh continued to show the same tenacity as they did in the opening period but their efforts to contain Vietnam fell apart in the 65th minute after Ngan Thi Thanh Hieu pounced on a poor clearance before drilling the ball into the back of the net.
The Philippines took just nine minutes to find the back of the net, thanks to Nina Mathelus’ penalty before she doubled their lead three minutes later.
