Colin Bell’s Korean players’ quick play and one-on-one attack made Vietnam’s goalkeeper Tran the most cautious. However, after gaining control of the match, the Korean players slowed down the match. The whole game was being played on the Vietnamese side. They got a chance to score in the 38th minute of the match. At that point, Chuang Thi Kieu could not make his attacking accurate header on the kick.

Towards the end of the match, Taeguk’s daughters tried to play aggressively, keeping the ball under their control. This sanctity of Vietnam must have once stopped Korean players. But, it was as if another goal was marking the Korean girls. He stepped up his game once again. They didn’t get a chance to score in the 74th minute of the match. Vietnam goalkeeper Tran Hine stopped them from scoring. In the second session, Vietnam’s defense was stronger than before.
