With a 7-0 win over Maldives, the Vietnamese women's team had a favorable start in the 2026 Women's Asian Cup qualifiers. Evaluating the match, coach Mai Duc Chung said: "We want to win overwhelmingly to clearly demonstrate the team's efforts over the past time. I hope to win more because the players missed many goals, even penalties. Maybe in the second half, they hesitated, felt satisfied and relaxed. I hope the Vietnamese women's team will score better goals in the following matches."

Although the Vietnamese women's team scored 7 goals, main striker Huynh Nhu did not contribute any goals and even missed many opportunities. Coach Mai Duc Chung commented on his player's performance: "It's not that Huynh Nhu didn't play well. Nhu has been out for a long time and is getting older. Her performance, ball sense and physical strength are also different from before.
That's why I didn't put Nhu in the starting lineup. Minh Chuyen is very fast. This is only Chuyen's first official match. This player has made progress. I have high expectations for Chuyen to integrate into the team."

Meanwhile, player Van Su said: "This is my first goal for the team this year. I'm only 1m52 tall, but I scored with my head, not just once, but also in 2020. The Vietnamese women's team tried to give a good match to the fans, even though we missed many opportunities. My teammates and I regret that we could have won by more. We will try to improve in the next matches."
