Having previously won tickets to the quarterfinals, the match between HCMC Women's Club and Urawa Red Diamonds tonight (October 12) is only about competing for the top spot in Group C.
The city women's football team kept their promise, fielding their strongest squad to play for their home fans. However, against a highly skilled opponent from Japan, the HCMC women's club was still completely outclassed.

After tonight's matches, the 2024-2025 AFC Women's Champions League has determined the 8 teams that have entered the quarterfinals, including Incheon Red Angels (Korea), Abu Dhabi Country Club (UAE), Wuhan Jianghan University (China), Melbourne City (Australia), Kaya-Iloilo (Philippines), Urawa Red Diamonds (Japan), Ho Chi Minh City Women's Club and Taichung Blue Whale (Taiwan).

Ho Chi Minh City Women's Club will play the quarter-finals at home, as the second-placed team with the best record (in addition, the top 3 teams in the 3 groups, Incheon Red Angels, Melbourne City and Urawa Red Diamonds, will also have home advantage in the quarter-finals).
The semi-finals and finals of the tournament will then take place at a central, yet to be determined, venue.
