Right after the opening whistle, the Vietnam women's team clearly demonstrated their attacking intentions by pushing up their formation, controlling the game and continuously creating pressure on the UAE team. Striker Huynh Nhu was the focus of the attack when he had many situations threatening the opponent's goal in the first 10 minutes of the match.
The pressure was concretized in the 11th minute, when central defender Chuong Thi Kieu jumped high and headed the ball to score from a corner kick on the left wing, breaking the deadlock. Just three minutes later, the UAE defense made a fatal mistake, allowing Thai Thi Thao to take advantage of the opportunity to finish coolly to increase the score to 2-0.
Not stopping there, the Vietnam women's team continued to attack strongly, especially effectively exploiting the ball on the left wing. In the 41st minute, Thu Thao climbed the right wing at speed and crossed the ball accurately for Nguyen Thi Van to jump high to head the ball to score the third goal for the home team, ending the first half with a 3-0 advantage.
Entering the second half, the one-sided game continued to be maintained. Nguyen Thi Van completed a double in the 51st minute after a beautiful combination with her teammates, before the player came on as a replacement for Hai Yen to increase the score to 5-0 in the 64th minute.
It seemed that the match ended with a 5-goal difference, but in the last minute of extra time, Ngan Thi Van Su shone with a close-range finish, sealing a 6-0 victory for the Vietnam women's team. This is also a worthy reward for the tireless efforts of Van Su personally throughout the match.
In the early match of the same day, Guam beat Maldives with a score of 3-0. After 2 matches, the Vietnam women's team leads Group E with 6 absolute points, scored 12 goals and has not conceded any. UAE ranked 2nd with 4 points, while Guam ranked 3rd with 1 point.
The Vietnamese women's team will close the 2026 Asian Cup qualifiers with a match against Guam on July 5.
