In the quarterfinals, the Vietnamese women's team will face the Chinese women's team. The match takes place at 1:00 PM on September 25th at Nagai Stadium.
This is a remarkable reunion between the two teams. In the quarter-finals of the 2022 Asian Women's Cup, the Vietnamese women's team once led against China thanks to Tuyet Dung's goal, but then let the opponent come back to win 3-1.
