Facing India, who were rated as underdogs, the Vietnamese women's team took the initiative to press the field from the start in the match on the afternoon of October 29. Thanh Nha continuously made things difficult for the opponent's defense and Huynh Nhu opened the score with an accurate header in the 5th minute.
In the 23rd minute, Duong Thi Van crossed the ball for Hai Linh to head the ball to double the gap to 2-0. In the second half, Hai Yen had another accurate header to beat goalkeeper Panthoi, bringing the score to 3-0 in the 74th minute.

The laxity in defense caused the Vietnamese women's team to be reduced to 1-3 by India in the 81st minute after Ranganathan's header. In the final minutes of the match, coach Mai Duc Chung's team maintained their 3-1 victory at Lokomotiv Stadium (Tashkent, Uzbekistan) and earned their first 3 points.
At 5:00 p.m. on November 1, the Vietnamese women's team will face Japan in the final round of Group C of the second qualifying round for the 2024 Olympics in Asia. However, the chance of winning the top two positions of coach Mai Duc Chung's team is quite low. In the match taking place at 7:00 p.m., Japan defeated host Uzbekistan 2-0.
