Continuing their dominance in the game, they scored an additional seven goals in the second half, with Hermoso Fuentes, Gonzalez Rodriguez, and Salma Celeste each scoring two goals.

In their previous three friendlies, under the guidance of Vietnamese head coach Mai Duc Chung, the team lost 0-7 to France, 1-2 to Germany, and 0-2 to New Zealand.

In 2015, under Japanese head coach Norimatsu Takashi, Vietnam suffered a crushing 0-11 defeat to Australia in a friendly match in Sydney.

Following the game against Spain, the Vietnamese women will commence their Group E campaign against the United States on July 22 at 1:00 pm local time in Auckland. They will then face Portugal in Hamilton at 2:30 pm on July 27 and the Netherlands in Dunedin at 2:00 pm on August 1.

This is the first time in the history of Vietnamese football that the women’s team has qualified for a FIFA Women’s World Cup edition.
