Opening at ASIAD 19, Vietnam women's team easily defeated Nepal 2-0

In the opening match of Group D of the 19th ASIAD women's football, the Vietnamese women's team entered the field with a higher rating than their opponent Nepal after a relatively good journey at the World Cup.

However, the Vietnamese women's team played without any breakthroughs and did not dominate the opponent's tight defense in the first half. Coach Mai Duc Chung and his team only really released their nerves in the 53rd minute with Hai Yen's goal and played explosively.

The match took place in the first 20 minutes, surprising fans as Vietnam entered the game quite slowly and did not have many outstanding attacks, having defeated this opponent twice earlier this year.

Hai Yen opened the score after Bich Thuy's powerful shot.

In the 30th minute, Vietnam had the first clear attack of the match. From a launch by Duong Thi Van and a few ball disputes between the two teams, Hai Yen finished as fast as lightning near the goal when competing with the goalkeeper, but lacked accuracy.

In addition, Vietnam also had two situations of attacking and falling in the penalty area due to fouls by Bich Thuy and Hai Yen, but both were denied penalties by the referee.

Vietnam faced many difficulties in the first half.

After the break, Vietnam had two notable finishing situations in the 53rd minute. Bich Thuy had a powerful shot right outside the penalty area that forced the Nepalese goalkeeper to try to block before Hai Yen came in to open the score for Vietnam. With the goal scored, the game between the two teams became more active and faster.

Bich Thuy doubled the gap for Vietnam

In the remaining minutes, Bich Thuy doubled the gap for Vietnam when she chose a great position with a delicate header from a cross from the left wing by Duong Thi Van in the 64th minute.

In addition, Hai Yen also missed the opportunity to score a double. In the 80th minute, Bich Thuy advanced from the right wing and penetrated the defense, creating an opportunity for Hai Yen to finish, but the shot could not beat the Nepalese goalkeeper.

Besides, in the last minutes of extra time, goalkeeper Kim Thanh had the only chance to save the match.

In the end, the Vietnamese women's team won 2-0 against Nepal and temporarily held the top position in the group. In the remaining match of Group D, the Japanese women's team will meet Bangladesh at 6:30 p.m.

In the next match, Vietnam will face Bangladesh at 3:00 p.m. on September 25.
