Conceding 2 super goals, U20 Vietnam lost to U20 Australia

The Vietnam U20 women's team entered the final match of the second qualifying round of the 2024 AFC U20 Women's Championship with a relaxed mentality. The home team quickly secured a ticket to the final round after two important victories against Iran U20 and Lebanon U20. Against a strong opponent, Vietnam U20 still played confidently and controlled the game well.

Although not overwhelming U20 Australia, U20 Vietnam had many beautiful coordination moves. On the contrary, U20 Australia showed strength and often won in one-on-one situations.

Vietnam U20 women's team unfortunately lost to Australia U20 women's team.

The first half was exciting but did not have many dangerous opportunities. Both teams entered the break with many regrets as no goals were scored. In the second half, U20 Australia suddenly pushed up their formation and they got what they needed.

In the 50th minute, the U20 Vietnam players lost the ball in the midfield. Instead of passing the ball to their teammates, midfielder Alana Murphy took a beautiful long-range shot from more than 30 meters away, defeating goalkeeper Kieu My to open the score for U20 Australia. The unexpected goal helped raise the spirit of U20 Australia.

6 minutes later, Alana Murphy scored again with a "cannon shot" to double the gap for U20 Australia. With nothing left to lose, coach Akira Ijiri made personnel adjustments and asked his players to put the entire squad on the opponent's field.

U20 Vietnam immediately forced the opponent to retreat deep to defend. U20 Australia chose a solid playing style and set up a large defense in front of the goal. In such a situation, U20 Vietnam could not penetrate the opponent's net and had to accept a regrettable defeat.

Result: U20 Vietnam 0-2 U20 Australia
