The Vietnamese women’s soccer team won the right to participate in the Women’s World Cup for the first time. The opening match against the American women’s team is the historical moment of coach Mai Duc Chung’s teachers and students.

Captain Huynh Nhu and his teammates stepped out into Eden Park in cheers and Vietnamese chants in the stands.

The emotional moment when Vietnam’s national anthem sounded at the Women’s World Cup arena for the first time in history.

Millions of hearts in one beat.

Kim Thanh, Huynh Nhu and their teammates breathed the World Cup atmosphere for the first time.

The starting line-up of the Vietnamese women’s team against the defending champion, the United States.

Defender Hoang Thi Loan played hard.

Hai Linh also “burned” with all her might.

Before the world’s No. 1 team, striker Huynh Nhu did not have many opportunities to play football.

Goalkeeper Kim Thanh has a full day of work. The flight phase, reasonable entry and exit and many times refused the opportunity of the American women’s team.

The most notable highlight was the successful penalty save in the 44th minute.

Despite facing striker Alex Morgan, who has scored 107 goals for the US women’s team, Kim Thanh still has ten saves.

The US women’s team controlled the ball 73%, averaging a total of 22 shots, including 8 on target.

Duong Thi Van with a bandage on her forehead, entered the field at the end of the second half, with moments of resilience. Striker Megan Rapinoe came off the bench, the 38-year-old striker played his 200th game for the US women’s team.

Failure 0-3 can be seen as an unexpected result of experts. “Golden star female warriors” left an impression on the opening day at the 2023 Women’s World Cup.
