On a night when seniors like Thuy Trang and Huynh Nhu failed to score, the presence of K'Thua created a turning point. The equalizer from number 11 opened the way for the incredible comeback of the HCMC Women's Club against the UAE representative.

Before K'Thua entered the field in the 46th minute, Ho Chi Minh City Women's Club was already leading 3-0 against Abu Dhabi Country. K'Thua replaced foreign player Sabrina, a rookie who did not play effectively in the first half.

Coach Doan Thi Kim Chi's massive personnel adjustments helped K'Thua score her own goal in this match. In the 64th minute, the ball found the Co Ho girl's feet right on the goal line. K'Thua did not miss the opportunity to reduce the score to 1-3 for the HCMC Women's Club.

Not only did K'Thua open the comeback win, he also helped the team's attack have a good connection on the left wing. The girl born in 2003 played energetically and effectively alongside her sisters.

In the decisive goal of 5-4, when the opposing team's central defender headed the ball into his own net, K'Thua was the one who ran after the ball and put pressure on the opposing player so that he could not clear the ball before the goal line.

K'Thua's efforts in 45 minutes helped her to be chosen as the "best player of the match", surpassing the performance of defender Ngo Thi Hong Nhung, who scored 1 goal and 1 goal that was not recognized.

In the press conference room, K'Thua was so nervous that she couldn't describe her feelings at that moment. The reporters told her that "your name means not losing".

"Khong Thua" is the nickname that Huynh Nhu and her teammates gave K'Thua since the team participated in the AFC Champions League for women 2024-2025. Because when printing the name in English, there will be no accents.

"K Lose" is printed on the number 11 shirt and makes people think of the word "not losing" (K = not). Even though in reality, Ho Chi Minh City Women's Club lost to Urawa Red Diamonds Women's in the group stage.

Helping the HCMC Women's Club reach the semi-finals is a milestone in K'Thua's career. Few people know that K'Thua is also a member of the Vietnam women's futsal team, which is seeking a ticket to the Futsal World Cup.

The journey of the Co Ho girl from Lam Dong is still full of promise in the HCM City Women's Club.
