In the match between Ho Chi Minh City and Odisha FC in the second round, Nguyen Thi Kim Yen headed the ball into the opponent's net when the clock had just struck the 50th second. The young talent of the Vietnamese women's team set a record for the fastest goal scorer in the history of the 2024/2025 Asian Women's Cup.
Before that, the tournament had only a few experimental versions. In the 18 matches in the group stage, some other players also scored early, but they usually scored in the 1st or 2nd minute. Nguyen Thi Kim Yen alone headed accurately and quickly to bring the advantage to the home team.
Nguyen Thi Kim Yen could not hide her joy when she scored a goal.
At the 2024/2025 Asian Women's Cup, Ho Chi Minh City Club brought pride to fans. Coach Doan Thi Kim Chi and her team beat Taichung Blue Whale 3-1, beat Odisha 3-1 and lost 0-2 to Urawa Red Diamonds. This result was enough for the team from the city named after Uncle Ho to pass the group stage of the Asian Women's Cup. They are even determined to go deep in this year's tournament.
As for Nguyen Thi Kim Yen, she showed rapid maturity after 2 seasons playing for TP.HCM I. Previously, the player born in 2002 played for TP.HCM II and was not really outstanding in the National Women's Championship.
In mid-2024, coach Mai Duc Chung brought a series of young players to the Vietnam women's team to build the next generation of players. Kim Yen was one of the five people trusted to give them a chance to try their hand.
Most of the squad on the training list remains the same as the first training session in September in the Czech Republic. However, Huynh Nhu will not be participating in this tour in China because the striker is focusing on preparing for some upcoming personal plans.
Another adjustment in the list of players this time is the absence of young goalkeeper Dao Thi Kieu Oanh (Hanoi), replaced by goalkeeper Quach Thu Em (Thong Nhat Sports Center). In addition, some young players continue to be given the opportunity to train with the national team such as Nguyen Thi Kim Yen (Thong Nhat Sports Center) and Ho Thi Thanh Thao (Vietnam Coal and Minerals).
The Vietnamese women's team just gathered a few days ago. Coach Mai Duc Chung is looking forward to the friendly tournament with host China and the Uzbekistan women's team. This year, the "golden star warriors" will not participate in any more official tournaments.
