VOV.VN - Vietnam made an impressive start in the 2025 AFC Women’s Futsal Asian Cup Qualifiers by clinching a landslide 5-1 victory over hosts Myanmar on January 15 evening.
Just eight minutes into the match, the Vietnamese took a 2-0 lead with goals from K'Thua and Phuong Anh. Three minutes later, Tran Thi Thu Xuan extended the lead to 3-0 with a direct shot from outside the penalty area.

Just before the first half ended, Phuong Anh again skillfully tapped the ball into the net, making it 4-1 for Vietnam.
After the break, although Vietnamese players opted to slow down the pace, they managed to score another goal in the 34th minute, sealing the 5-1 victory.
With the win, Vietnam currently stand in second place in Group D, trailing Taiwan (China) on goal difference, who defeated Macau (China) 18-0 in their previous match.
On January 17, Vietnam will take on Macau, while Myanmar will clash with Taiwan.
