In addition to the end of the championship competition, the play-offs of the Women's Asian Cup are also over! The Vietnamese women's football team advanced to the World Cup with 2 consecutive wins, creating a new history of Vietnamese football! With the promotion of the Vietnamese team, all 6 teams participating in the Women's World Cup in Asia have been born, namely: Australia (host), China, South Korea, Japan, the Philippines, and Vietnam. The additional defeated Thailand team and the Chinese Taipei women's football team will participate in the intercontinental play-offs to compete for the last 3 World Cup places!
Vietnamese football has repeatedly set new records in the last month! Their men's soccer team beat the Chinese men's soccer team in the Asian Round of 12, setting a record for the best in 60 years. The women's football team went straight to the World Cup. I have to say that vietnamese football has really improved too much in recent years.
In this women's Asian Cup, the Vietnamese women's football team was eliminated by the Chinese women's football team 1-3. Subsequently, they won two consecutive victories in the play-offs, beating the Thai women's football team 2-0 and the Chinese Taipei women's football team 2-1, respectively, and then got the opportunity to qualify directly.
In this match with Chinese Taipei, the Vietnamese team's promotion situation is not optimistic, they need to beat the opponent to be active. Chinese Taipei, on the other hand, only needs to draw a draw to qualify. As a result, like the national football team, they fell in front of the spell of promotion after the draw! In this match, the Vietnamese team scored just 6 minutes after the opening, and Zhang Shijiao used her personal ability to score.
Just three minutes into the second half, Vietnam conceded the ball and was equalised 1-1. If this score is followed, Vietnam will play the play-offs. But they didn't give up, and the turning point of the game came in the 56th minute, when Nguyen Thi Phee received a pass from Choi Thi Cao to help Vietnam outdo the score again. In the end, the score of 2-1 was also held out until the end of the game.
After winning this match, Vietnam won all 2 matches in the play-offs and directly advanced to the World Cup. The Chinese Taipei women's football team fell before the spell of qualifying for a draw and needed to participate in the intercontinental play-offs. It can be said that the Vietnamese team's promotion to the World Cup will further encourage the development of Vietnamese football.
