In the first match of the second qualifying round of the 2024 AFC U-20 Women's Championship, the Vietnam U-20 women's team played extremely well to come from behind and win (with a score of 3-2) against the Iran U-20 women's team. The red-shirt girls' defense made a mistake that led to a goal conceded quite early. However, coach Akira Ijiri's players not only did not lose their spirit but also rose up strongly to score an immediate equalizer.
It can be seen that the players of the U.20 Vietnam women's team coordinate very well and often launch sharp passes to defeat the opponent's defense. In addition, the home team's attacking options are also very diverse, from central coordination, long shots, high balls... In addition, the fiery fighting spirit and not being afraid to throw themselves into the game are also considered the strengths of the U.20 Vietnam women's team. Even if they had taken full advantage of the opportunity, the girls in red could have won by a bigger margin.
The U.20 Vietnam women's team (red shirts) had an impressive comeback victory against the U.20 Iran women's team.
Ngoc Anh, Ngoc Minh Chuyen and Le Thi Trang were the ones who scored the first 3 points for the U.20 Vietnam women's team. Facing a strong opponent from the top football country in the continent like Iran, coach Akira Ijiri's team showed a positive face and had a smooth start. This first victory is very important, helping the U.20 Vietnam women's team maintain a big advantage to aim for the goal of passing the second qualifying round. In the second match, the U.20 Vietnam women's team will face the U.20 Lebanon women's team. If they continue to play at their best, the second consecutive victory is within reach of the girls in red.
Currently, the U.20 Australian women's team (with a 5-0 victory over the U.20 Lebanese women's team) is ranked first in the group (3 points, goal difference +5), the U.20 Vietnamese women's team is second in the group (3 points, goal difference +1). In fact, the U.20 Iranian women's team will find it very difficult to surprise a formidable opponent like the U.20 Australian women's team in the second match (taking place on June 5).
The U.20 Vietnam women's team has a big advantage to win a ticket to the final round.
Therefore, in case the Australian U.20 women's team wins the Iranian U.20 women's team, and the Vietnamese U.20 women's team defeats the Lebanese U.20 women's team in the second round, coach Akira Ijiri's team will win a ticket to the finals. According to the competition format in the second qualifying round, 4 teams will play a round robin to calculate the ranking points. The top two teams will participate in the 2024 AFC U.20 Women's Championship finals held in Uzbekistan.
