U17 Women's Asian Qualifier 2: Vietnam lost to Australia

In the first 20 minutes of the match, the ball was almost exclusively on the Vietnamese side of the field, with dangerous opportunities for the young girls from the "kangaroo country". However, the tight defense with the support of the attack helped goalkeeper Le Thi Thu's goal stand firm.

By the middle of the match, the Vietnam U17 women's team had a few notable situations towards the goal of the opponent with superior physique.

In the 28th minute, Thanh Hieu opened the scoring for U17 Vietnam. After the two teams fought for the ball in the middle of the field, Thanh Hieu moved skillfully, single-handedly passing 3 Australian players and eliminating the goalkeeper to score into an empty net.

However, the advantage in goals only lasted until the end of the match. Player Dale scored twice with goals in the 41st and 45th minutes from high balls and powerful headers.

The two teams maintained an open game in the second half.

After the break, the two teams continued to maintain an open game. However, the efforts of the young U17 Vietnam girls still could not help coach Akira Ijiri's team keep 1 point at home. In the early match of Group B, Round 2 of the 2024 AFC U17 Women's Championship, U17 Philippines won 3-1 against U17 Bangladesh.

With the results of these two matches, U17 Australia has quickly secured a ticket to the final round with the top spot in the group. Meanwhile, U17 Vietnam is temporarily in 2nd place despite having the same score as U17 Philippines but with a better goal difference.

In the final round, U17 Vietnam will face U17 Philippines at 7pm to win the last ticket to the final round. Meanwhile, U17 Australia will meet Bangladesh at 4pm.
