Group C standings after 2 matches
The 2024-2025 Asian Women's Cup has 12 competing teams, divided equally into 3 groups, playing a round-robin to calculate ranking points. The first and second-placed teams in each group, along with the 2 third-placed teams with the best results, will advance. Thus, based on the actual rankings of Group C, Ho Chi Minh City Club has already secured a ticket to the quarter-finals, regardless of the results of the final match. Coach Nguyen Hong Pham's team will at least participate in the round for the 8 strongest teams with the second place in the group.
With the advantage of playing at Thong Nhat Stadium and a comfortable mentality after having entered the next round early, Ho Chi Minh City Club is expected to continue to win in the final match against Urawa Red Diamonds on October 12. In addition, fans also have reason to hope when the number 1 striker of the Vietnamese women's team is in good form. Up to now, the striker from Tra Vinh has had 2 goals and 1 assist, after 2 matches in the group stage. If they win, Huynh Nhu and her teammates will reach the top of the table.
Ho Chi Minh City FC must defeat Urawa Red Diamonds to win first place in Group C.
Hopefully so, but this task will be extremely difficult for Ho Chi Minh City FC. Urawa Red Diamonds FC is a strong team, currently dominating the Japanese women's national championship (where women's football is among the top in the world ).
