Breathtaking victory
After the thrilling victory over the UAE team, coach Nguyen Hong Pham said: "The quarter-final match between the HCMC women's team and Abu Dhabi Country Club was so great. HCMC Club won so emotionally. I thank and appreciate the girls of the HCMC women's team who fought until the last drop of sweat to win this historic ticket. In addition, I also want to dedicate this victory to the fans."

Regarding the incident of letting the opponent take a surprising 3-goal lead in the first half, coach Nguyen Hong Pham shared: "We lost focus in the first half. During the break between the two halves, the coaching staff made psychological adjustments, giving the players more confidence. It must also be said that after leading by 3 goals, Abu Dhabi Country Club also made mistakes. They retreated to their own half too soon, creating conditions for Ho Chi Minh City Women's Club to control the ball, then control the game."
When we had goals to reduce the score near the middle of the second half, our mentality improved significantly. In addition to the domestic players playing very well, I also rate the level of the two foreign players we have very high. As for Vietnamese-American player Chelsea Le, he is one of the players who performed best on the field, from expertise to fighting spirit.
Anxiously waiting to determine the opponent of the HCMC women's team in the semi-finals
Not only that, Coach Nguyen Hong Pham predicted a good future for Chelsea Le: "Her contributions have a great influence on the playing style of Ho Chi Minh City Club. I hope Chelsea Le continues to play well in the semi-finals. In addition, as an overseas Vietnamese player, she has every chance to wear the Vietnamese women's football team's jersey."
