Thanh Vũ |

The resounding 6-0 victory over Timor-Leste on the evening of June 11 helped the Vietnam U19 Women's Team take the lead in Group A of the 2025 Southeast Asian U19 Women's Championship.

Coach Okiyama Masahiko made some adjustments to the starting lineup compared to the opening match to create competition opportunities for many players.

For the first 45 minutes, goalkeeper Ngoc Anh had almost no work when the U19 Vietnam women's team played mainly in the opponent's half with an overwhelming attacking style of play.

Continuous pressure helped coach Okiyama's students open the scoring in the 10th minute. From a cross on the right wing by Nguyen Thi Quy, Thuy Nga jumped high to head the ball accurately.

15 minutes later, Juleica fouled Quynh Anh right in front of the penalty area, bringing a direct free kick to the U19 Vietnam women's team. Thuy Nga continued to shine with a tricky shot to increase the score to 2-0.

In the 36th minute, Le Thi Trang had a pass near the crossroad, goalkeeper Elania, in an effort to block it, pushed the ball into her own net, raising the score to 3-0 for U19 Vietnam.

In the second half, U19 Vietnam continued to play aggressively on the field. In the 50th minute, Hong Yeu tried goalkeeper Halina (entering the field as a substitute at the end of the first half) with a free kick from close to the penalty area.

Although Halina made an excellent save in that situation, she still had to pick the ball up in the 62nd minute after a beautiful combination of breaking the wall for Quynh Anh to cross the angle to increase the score to 4-0.

In the 77th minute, Nguyen Thi Quy scored the 5th goal with a free kick from the right wing, the ball hit the ground and flew straight into the net.

In the 85th minute, Hoai Trinh was fouled by Nivia Gutierres in the penalty area and she successfully converted the penalty kick, sealing a 6-0 victory for the U19 Vietnam women's team.
