In the first match of the second qualifying round of the 2 Asian Women's U.20 Championship, the Vietnam U.2024 women's team played extremely well to come back and win (with a score of 20-3) against the Iranian U.2 women's team. The defense of the girls in red made a mistake that led to a goal quite early. However, the players of coach Akira Ijiri not only did not lose their spirits but also rose strongly to have an equalizer immediately.
It can be seen that the players of the U.20 Vietnam women's team coordinate very well and often launch sharp slits to defeat the opponent's defense. In addition, the home team's attack options are also very diverse, from central coordination, long-range shooting, high ball ... In addition, the fighting spirit of fire and not afraid to roll is also considered a strong point of the U.20 women's team in Vietnam. Even if they took full advantage of the opportunity, the girls in red could have won more.
Ngoc Anh, Ngoc Minh Chuyen and Le Thi Trang were the ones who burned the opponent's net to bring home the first 3 points for the U.20 women's team in Vietnam. Against a strong opponent from the top football background in the continent like Iran, coach Akira Ijiri's team showed a positive face and had a smooth start. This first victory has a very important meaning, helping the U.20 Vietnamese women's team keep a great advantage to aim for the second qualifying round. If still playing properly, the second victory in a row is the task within the reach of the girls in red.
Currently, the Australian U.20 women's team (with a 5-0 victory over the Lebanese U.20 women's team) is ranked first in the group (3 points, difference +5), the U.20 women's team in Vietnam second in the group (3 points, difference +1). In fact, it will be difficult for the Iranian U.20 women's team to surprise a formidable opponent like the Australian U.20 women's team in the second match (to take place on June 2).
Therefore, in the event that the Australian U.20 women's team wins the Iran U.20 women's team, and the Vietnam U.20 women's team defeats the Lebanese U.20 women's team in the second match, coach Akira Ijiri's team will win tickets to play in the finals. According to the competition format in the second qualifying round, 2 teams will play in a circle once to calculate ranking points. The top two teams will participate in the finals of the 2 Asian Women's U.4 Championship to be held in Uzbekistan.
