Ho Chi Minh City Women's Club created a comeback to beat Abu Dhabi Country 5-4 despite being down 3-0 in the first half, thereby winning a ticket to the semi-finals of the AFC Champions League 2024/25.

In the first time the Asian Women's Cup was held, Huynh Nhu and her teammates made history by reaching the round of 4 of the strongest teams in the continent.

The unbelievable victory of the Vietnamese representative, we cannot help but mention the name K'Thua. On the day when the seniors like Thuy Trang and Huynh Nhu did not score, the appearance of the Co Ho ethnic girl at the beginning of the second half created a turning point in the match.

The equalizer from the player born in 2003 in the 64th minute opened the way for the incredible comeback of the Ho Chi Minh City Women's Club against the representative of the UAE.

In the goal that sealed the score at 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 he couldn't clear the ball before the goal line.

After the historic victory, K'Thua was voted the best player of the match by the Organizing Committee. The image of K'Thua playing with great effort and dedication on the field has become a symbol of the will to rise up.

As one of the key players of the Ho Chi Minh City Women's Club, K'Thua had an impressive performance throughout the team's journey at the most prestigious club tournament in Asia. Possessing speed, good physical foundation and good technique, she played an important role in the midfield, helping the team control the match and create many dangerous situations.

"My feelings right now are hard to describe, I don't know what else to say. Honestly, right now, I and the club members are very happy," K'Thua said after the match.
