The Vietnam Women's National Football Team was eliminated from the 2026 ASIAD after a narrow 0-1 defeat to China in the quarterfinals. The match, held under intense pressure, showcased the resilience of the Vietnamese players, particularly goalkeeper Kim Thanh, who made several crucial saves.

From the start, China dominated the game, leveraging their physical advantage to launch a series of attacks. Wang Yan Wen had an early opportunity but was thwarted by Kim Thanh, who excelled in goal. Vietnam opted for a defensive strategy, focusing on crowding the midfield and thwarting China's advances. Despite the pressure, Vietnam managed to create a few promising counter-attacks, although they could not capitalize on these chances.

As the match progressed into the second half, the dynamics remained unchanged, with China continuing to press forward while Vietnam held their ground defensively. In the final moments of regular time, China intensified their offensive efforts, creating multiple dangerous opportunities. However, Kim Thanh’s outstanding performance kept the scoreline level, forcing the match into extra time.

The first half of extra time ended without any goals. In the second half, Vietnam attempted to push forward in search of a breakthrough but were caught off guard. In the 109th minute, a long ball from China's half was headed on by Zhao Zi Qin to Wang Shuang, who finished clinically to break the deadlock.

Despite Vietnam’s efforts to equalize in the remaining minutes, they were unable to find the back of the net. The match concluded with a final score of 1-0 in favor of China, marking the end of Vietnam's journey in the ASIAD tournament.
