In the second qualifying round of the 2020 Olympics, the Vietnamese women's team is expected to face many difficulties in the opening match of Group B when they have to face Uzbekistan.
Will the Vietnamese women's team continue to win against Uzbekistan?
But on the contrary, after the opening whistle, the girls in red immediately rushed forward to attack their opponents.
In the 8th minute, Huynh Nhu helped the Vietnamese women's team take the lead. However, it only took Uzbekistan 3 minutes to bring the match back to the starting line with a goal by Khilki Kukkorova.
After the break, the two teams continued to play tit for tat and the Vietnamese women's team were the ones who took advantage better when they scored a goal thanks to Tuyet Dung from the 11m mark.
In the end, the girls in red won 2-1 against Uzbekistan.
Back to reality, the Vietnamese women's team is preparing to have a match with Uzbekistan.
Coincidentally, this match was also the first match in the second round of Olympic qualifying.
After many years, Vietnamese and Uzbekistan women's football have both progressed and changed a lot.
With the Vietnamese women's team, we have successfully won a ticket to the 2023 World Cup.
Meanwhile, Uzbekistan just had an impressive 19th ASIAD when they reached the semi-finals, a tournament where coach Mai Duc Chung's students had to stop right after the group stage.
According to the FIFA rankings, the girls in red are currently ranked 34th in the world. Meanwhile, Uzbekistan is ranked 50th.
But numbers in football are only relative and not enough to fully demonstrate the strength of a team.
Therefore, if not careful, Huynh Nhu and her teammates can completely stumble in the opening match of the 2024 Paris Olympics qualifiers.
If they lose, this also means that coach Mai Duc Chung and his team will almost certainly lose their chance to continue.
According to the schedule, on October 26, the Vietnamese women's team will face Uzbekistan, 3 days later will play Japan and end the qualifying round with a match against Mongolia (November 1).
