Before winning a ticket to the semi-finals of the AFC Champions League (Asian Cup C1), the HCMC women's club experienced an emotional match in the quarter-finals at Thong Nhat Stadium at the end of March.
In the first half, coach Nguyen Hong Pham and his team were led by opponent Abu Dhabi Country with a score of 3-0. In the second half, Huynh Nhu and her teammates played bravely and made efforts to come back to defeat the UAE representative with a score of 5-4.
Accordingly, Ho Chi Minh City's opponent in the semi-finals of the Asian Cup C1 is Wuhan Jiangda. The Chinese representative defeated Urawa Red Diamonds (Japan) in the semi-finals after a dramatic penalty shootout.
In fact, Wuhan Jiangda is not too strong. Since the beginning of the tournament, they have scored 8 goals but 7 of them against Sabah - a team that is much weaker (in the final match of the group stage). This shows that Wuhan Jiangda's attack is not too sharp.
In the domestic arena, they also did not have a positive result at the recently concluded National Sports Festival.
From the above data, it is completely possible to believe that Ho Chi Minh City women's club will get a favorable result against Wuhan Jiangda. Huynh Nhu and her teammates need to be confident, deploy a reasonable playing style and make the most of their opportunities.
The semi-final match of the Asian Cup C1 between Ho Chi Minh City Women's Club and Wuhan Jiangda will take place at 15:00 on May 21.
