The first semi-final match of the tournament is the match between Ho Chi Minh City and Vietnam Coal and Minerals taking place on the afternoon of April 3. Continuing the excitement after the victory in the AFC Champions League for women, Ho Chi Minh City played brilliantly against Vietnam Coal and Minerals.
In the 15th minute, receiving a pass from Huynh Nhu, Vietnamese-American midfielder Chelsea Le rushed in to finish with one touch to open the score for the Southern team. Vietnam Coal and Minerals rose up to attack in search of an equalizer.
However, the efforts of the mining team have not yet been effective. Nguyen Thi Van and her teammates have not been able to find a way into the opponent's goal. The first half passed with the advantage in terms of score for HCMC.
Entering the second half, Huynh Nhu once again left her mark. In the 50th minute, she controlled the ball and passed Bao Tram before firing a powerful shot to widen the gap to 2 goals. In the 57th minute, it was still Huynh Nhu who successfully converted the penalty to increase the score to 3-0.
With nothing left to lose, coach Doan Minh Hai asked his students to push up their formation. If they lose, they will soon become former champions. However, when the attack line has not been effective, the defense of Vietnam Coal and Minerals continues to make mistakes.
In the 66th minute, Kong Thi Hang pushed Chelsea Le's shot, Thuy Trang rushed in to score to increase the score to 4-0. In the 90th minute, K'Thua sealed a sweet 5-0 victory and Ho Chi Minh City advanced to the final match.
