Entering the AFC Women's Champions League semi-final match on the afternoon of May 21 in Wuhan City (China), Huynh Nhu and her teammates fought with their opponents in the first minutes.
In the 14th minute, coach Kim Chi was forced to make a substitution when Cu Thi Huynh Nhu could not continue after colliding with her opponent and was replaced by Kim Yen. From this adjustment, the HCMC women's club fell into a difficult position when the home team gradually caught up and created great pressure on Quach Thu Em's goal.
Meanwhile, coach Kim Chi's team could hardly move the ball to the opponent's field, except for a few rare counter-attacks.
The deadlock was only broken when Wang Shuang made a beautiful curling shot, defeating goalkeeper Thu Em, opening the score for Wuhan Jiangda in the 35th minute.
Huynh Nhu and his teammates had difficulty launching attacks against the home team.
Before the end of the match, the home team created consecutive opportunities in a face-to-face situation, but could not overcome the excellence of Thu Em. In extra time, Terry Engesha defeated the Vietnamese goalkeeper but the ball went wide.
Returning after the break, HCM City Women's Team had the reinforcements of Thuy Trang and K'Thua when foreign striker Sabrina was substituted. This adjustment helped the attack of the representative of the city named after Uncle Ho to improve.
Amidst the excitement, Thu Em had to pick the ball out of the net for the second time in the 54th minute. Song Duan fired a beautiful long-range shot into the top corner of the goal to raise the score to 2-0 for Wuhan Jiangda.
Thuy Trang was reinforced in the second half.
In the remaining time, the HCMC Women's Club tried to fight back but was ineffective due to the opponent's tight control of the game. Near the end of the match, Vietnamese-American midfielder Ashley Ton That also entered the field when he replaced Japanese midfielder Yoshida.
Thus, coach Kim Chi's team had to stop at the tournament and finished in the top 4.
Opponent Wuhan Jiangda won the first ticket to the final. The home team's opponent will be the winner between the match between Incheon Red Angels (Korea) and Melbourne City (Australia).
