The Vietnam U20 women's team entered the final match in the second qualifying round of the 2 Asian Women's U20 Championship with a relaxed mentality. The home team soon won tickets to the final round after 2024 important victories against U2 Iran and U20 Lebanon. In front of a strong opponent, U20 Vietnam still plays with confidence and controls the game well.
Although not dominating U20 Australia, U20 Vietnam has many beautiful coordination phases. In contrast, Australia U20 shows strength and often prevails in hand-to-hand dispute situations.
The first half was interesting but there were not too many dangerous opportunities. The two teams entered the break with many regrets when no goals were scored. Entering the second half, U1 Australia suddenly pushed up the squad and they got what they needed.
In the 50th minute, Vietnam U20 players lost the ball in the middle of the field. Instead of passing the ball to teammates, midfielder Alana Murphy hit a beautiful long shot from a distance of more than 30 meters to beat goalkeeper Kieu My to open the match for Australia U20. The unexpected goal helped Australia's U20 morale go up.
6 minutes later, it was still Alana Murphy with a "cannonball" that doubled the lead for U20 Australia. With nothing left to lose, coach Akira Ijiri adjusted the personnel and asked the students to put the entire squad into the opponent's field.
U20 Vietnam immediately caused the opponent to retreat deep to defend. U20 Australia chose a solid play and built a large defense in front of goal. In such a match, U20 Vietnam could not penetrate the opponent's net and had to accept an unfortunate defeat.
Result: U20 Vietnam 0-2 U20 Australia
