Vietnamese player sets unbelievable record in Asian Cup C1

In the match between Ho Chi Minh City and Odisha FC in the second round, Nguyen Thi Kim Yen headed the ball into the opponent's net when the clock had just struck the 50th second. The young talent of the Vietnamese women's team set a record for the fastest goal scorer in the history of the 2024/2025 Asian Women's Cup.

Before that, the tournament had only a few experimental versions. In the 18 matches in the group stage, some other players also scored early, but they usually scored in the 1st or 2nd minute. Nguyen Thi Kim Yen, in particular, headed the ball accurately and quickly to bring the advantage to the home team.

Nguyen Thi Kim Yen could not hide her joy when she scored a goal.

At the 2024/2025 Asian Women's Cup, Ho Chi Minh City Club brought pride to the fans. Coach Doan Thi Kim Chi and her team beat Taichung Blue Whale 3-1, beat Odisha 3-1 and lost 0-2 to Urawa Red Diamonds. This result was enough for the team named after Uncle Ho to pass the group stage of the Asian Women's Cup. They are still determined to go deep in this year's tournament.

As for Nguyen Thi Kim Yen personally, she showed rapid maturity after 2 seasons playing for TP.HCM I. Previously, the player born in 2002 played for TP.HCM II and was not really outstanding in the National Women's Championship.

In mid-2024, coach Mai Duc Chung brought a series of young players to the Vietnam women's team to build the next generation of players. Kim Yen is one of the five people trusted to be given the opportunity to try their hand.

Most of the squad in the training camp will remain the same as the first training camp in September in the Czech Republic. However, Huynh Nhu will not be participating in this tour in China as the striker is focusing on preparing for some upcoming personal plans.

Another adjustment in the training list this time is the absence of young goalkeeper Dao Thi Kieu Oanh ( Hanoi ), replaced by goalkeeper Quach Thu Em (Thong Nhat Sports Center). In addition, some young players continue to be given the opportunity to train with the national team such as Nguyen Thi Kim Yen (Thong Nhat Sports Center) and Ho Thi Thanh Thao (Vietnam Coal and Minerals).

The Vietnamese women's team just gathered a few days ago. Coach Mai Duc Chung is looking forward to the friendly tournament with the host China and the Uzbekistan women's team. This year, the "golden star warriors" will not participate in any more official tournaments.
