Right from the kickoff, coach Okiyama Masahiko’s squad pressed high, controlled possession, and applied intense pressure on the opponent’s goal. Their aggressive, fast-paced play quickly created several dangerous scoring opportunities.

In the 21st minute, capitalizing on a defensive error by Guam’s center-back, Minh Anh skillfully intercepted the ball and finished from close range to open the scoring for the hosts.

Vietnam continued to dominate the attack. In the 40th minute, following a precise cross from the left flank, Thu Phuong laid the ball off perfectly for Minh Anh, who struck a powerful one-touch shot to double the lead to 2-0.

In the second half, Vietnam maintained full control of the match. In the 54th minute, after a well-coordinated build-up through the center, Yen Nhi made a run to receive a perfectly timed pass and fired a powerful shot to make it 3-0.

Facing a heavy deficit, the Guam side struggled mentally and conceded two more goals before the final whistle. Minh Anh and Hong Thai scored in the 73rd and 87th minutes, respectively, sealing a comprehensive 5-0 victory for Vietnam in their opening match of the 2026 AFC U17 Women Asian Cup qualifiers.
