A little earlier to end a match, the Vietnam women's football team defeated the Thai women's football team 2-0, so that the Thai women's football team was out of the game early, and the Chinese Taipei women's football team competed with the Vietnam women's football team for the Women's World Cup place.
In the latest standings of the play-offs, the Chinese Taipei women's football team and the Vietnam women's football team have 3 points, and the Chinese Taipei women's football team has the advantage of the goal difference, so it can be ranked first by a draw, and the seventh team that locks the women's World Cup seat does not need to participate in the intercontinental play-offs.
