Vietnamese women lost to France
GHI Bán: casarino 5', diani 11'' & 46', Toletti 16', Catholic 22', Matthew 33', Tounkara 6
The difference between the two teams showed the first minutes at Stade de la Source. With a speed and modern gameplay, France easily breaks Vietnamese defense. On the fifth minute, Kadidiatou Diani passed Hoang Thi Loan on the right wing, then stretched horizontally for Delphine Cascarino to cut the flanges, open the score.
Losing body and stamina, Vietnam are barely able to catch the ball in front of their opponents' close kicks. Had it not been for Sung Kim's excellent performance on the wooden frame, the team would have conceded more goals in Marie-Antoinette Kato's escape phase. However, Kim Thanh was still subdued for the second time when Diani dribbled and finished in the box two minutes later.
France are currently ranked third in the women's football world. The friendly against Vietnam is their last rehearsal before they take part in the Women's European Championship-Euro 2022 on July 6. Therefore, French girls play very seriously. Just five minutes later, they rewrote the score to 3-0. From Clara Matteo's cross, Sandy Rose Toletti cushioned with a foot to allow Sung Kim to watch the ball into the net. Hoang Thi Loan was probably the most difficult player on Vietnam's side in the first half, when her flank was constantly under attack. Cascarino passed the ball to the Vietnamese left-back, then sent it to Kato for a header, and France improved to 4-0 after just 22 minutes.
After hurting Hoang Thi Loan, Cascarino has Diem My and Chuong Thi Kieu struggling on the left wing, but this time, she hits the crossbar. It didn't take long for the quality of the host players to show again. This time, Matt's Olympic ball successfully passed Chen Shiqiu and then shot into the near corner to help France lead 5-0.
Vietnam's rare ball stage comes from Tuyet Dung's effort when she pokes an open spot over Mateo for Huynh Nhu. But despite overcoming the torrent in the penalty area, the Vietnam captain failed to finish. France scored the sixth goal in stoppage time in the first half. Cascarino made a cross and Diani headed the ball.
France lowered their attacking tempo in the second half, with manager Colin Diak substituting a number of props to test personnel. Thanks to this, Vietnam breathes more easily. The team only conceded another goal in the header of midfielder Tuenkara. Vietnam's only shot appeared in the 54th minute. Huynh Nhu dribbles between the two defenders but her low shot from near the corner does not make the home keeper difficult.
