Bangladesh U17 women's team is the first opponent of Vietnam U17 women's team in Group B of the second qualifying round of the 2024 AFC U17 Women's Championship.
After the opening whistle, the home team quickly took control of the game. Thao Nguyen and her teammates had an impressive amount of ball control. The Vietnam U17 women's team forced the Bangladesh U17 women's team to retreat deep into their own half.
However, the U17 women's team of Vietnam lacked a bit of sharpness and experience in decisive situations. However, the young players still knew how to convert their advantage on the field into goals. In the 40th minute, from a beautiful corner kick by Ngan Thi Thanh Hieu, captain Thao Nguyen jumped high and headed the ball accurately to open the score for the U17 women's team of Vietnam.

Entering the second half, the U17 women's team of Vietnam continued to maintain great pressure on the opponent's field. As the match progressed, the chances for the U17 women of Vietnam increased. In the 64th minute, Thanh Hieu dribbled past two defenders and fired a dangerous shot to double the gap for the U17 women of Vietnam.
In the remaining minutes, the U17 Vietnam women's strikers continuously tormented the opponent's defense. However, no more goals were scored. In the end, the U17 Vietnam women's team defeated the U17 Bangladesh women's team with a score of 2-0.
In the remaining match, the Australian U17 women's team won convincingly with a score of 5-2 against the Philippines U17 women's team. This team had some complacency when letting the opponent take a 2-goal lead after only 17 minutes. However, with superior strength, the Australian U17 women's team scored 5 consecutive goals to get 3 points.
Thus, Vietnam U17 women's team is temporarily ranked 2nd in Group B, behind Australia U17 women's team due to inferior sub-index. In the next match, the Southeast Asian team will face Australia U17 women's team.
