16-year-old player Ngoc Minh Chuyen scored a double, and captain Le Thi Bao Tram scored the remaining goal to make the big win for Vietnam. Along with the 3-2 win over Iran in the opening match, the team has six points to rank second in Group A of the second qualifying round of the 2024 AFC U20 Women's Championship. Vietnam currently has the same points as Australia, but is ranked second, due to an inferior goal difference (+8 compared to +4).
This result helped Vietnam and Australia secure tickets to the final round one round early. On the evening of June 7, the two teams will face off to determine the top two positions in the group.
Previously, Vietnam passed the first qualifying round also held in Phu Tho in March 2023. The team defeated Indonesia 3-0, Singapore 11-0 and drew India 1-1 to enter the second qualifying round.
In addition to Australia and Vietnam, the 2024 AFC U20 Women's Championship has determined four teams including host Uzbekistan, defending champion Japan, runner-up DPR Korea and third-placed team South Korea. The remaining two teams will be determined after the start of Group B of the second qualifying round, including host Myanmar, China, Nepal and Chinese Taipei.
Including 2024, Vietnam has participated in the final round six times in 2004, 2009, 2011, 2017 and 2019. The best achievement was reaching the quarterfinals in 2004 in China.
Since its first event in 2002, the tournament has been held 10 times. Japan has won the most with six times in 2002, 2009, 2011, 2015, 2017, 2019. Following are South Korea - 2004, 2013, China - 2006 and the Democratic People's Republic of Korea - 2007.
