Bangkok: Vietnam made it two wins from two in Group B, outclassing inexperienced Bangladesh 7-0 to all but secure a place in the AFC Women’s Futsal Championship quarter finals.
The Southeast Asians – helped by a hat-trick from Do Thi Nguyen, a brace Vo Thi Thuy Trinh and all round quality from Trinh Nguyen Thanh Hang – proved too strong for the futsal newcomers, scoring three goals in the first half before adding four more after the break.
Vietnam took the initiative from the very beginning of the contest, with captain Nguyen Thi Thanh hitting the woodwork with a glancing header in the early moments, and took the lead through Do Thi Nguyen in the third minute.
Exciting goalkeeper Rupna Chakma kept Golam Robbani Chotom’s side in the contest with a string of saves, and successive efforts at goal from Maria, Masura Parvin and Mosammat Shopna added to a growing sense of Bangladeshi momentum.
But two quick goals to Vo Thi Tuy Tranh, the products of slick Vietnamese interplay in the 11th and 12th minutes, gave the scoreboard a more realistic look as Vietnam took a 3-0 lead into half-time.
