The Vietnamese players put in a tremendous effort during the first half. Many times, they even managed to penetrate the opponent's penalty area. However, in the 39th minute, an impressive combination from the Japanese team resulted in the opening goal for them.

In the second half, Japan increased their pace and applied pressure, while the Vietnamese team’s defense was not up to par, allowing Moriya to score the second goal, making it 2-0 in the 54th minute.

With this result, the Vietnamese girls failed to move to the final round of qualifying of the Paris Olympics 2024.
