Vietnamese women's team won tickets to the World Cup, "hero" Chuong Thi Kieu received sad news from home

Beating Chinese Taipei 2-1 in the play-off series, the Vietnamese women's team won tickets to the World Cup finals for the first time in history.

With the advantage of physical strength (more than 3 days off) and a force with a full squad ready to play, the Vietnamese women's team quickly imposed the match on Chinese Taipei.
