AFC Women's Champions League
Kim Kwang Min’s side have six points from two matches and are assured of a top two finish in the group regardless of what happens in the remaining games.
4.25 assumed control of the match from the opening whistle and their pressure saw Kayla Siddiqi handle the ball in trying to block Pak Ok I’s cross, with Myong Ju Yong slotting home her spot-kick in the eighth minute.
The DPR Korea side doubled their advantage 10 minutes later following a short corner routine as Jon Ryong Jong’s cross was missed by goalkeeper Tran Thi Kim Thanh, giving Jong Pok Yong the simple task of nodding home at the back post.
Ho Chi Minh found it difficult to get a hold of the ball but did pull themselves together defensively, restricting 4.25 to a Ryong Jong effort which came back off the crossbar before Ok I blazed her attempt high after exchanging passes with Han Jin Hong.
Group B: 4.25 SC (PRK) v Ho Chi Minh City Women’s FC (VIE)
Item 1 of 8
There was no letting from 4.25 after the interval with Han breaking into space inside the box after two minutes of the restart to force Thi Kim Thanh to tip the ball out for a corner kick.
From that corner delivery, Choe Kang Ryon’s cross was allowed to bounce twice in the box before Ryong Jong knocked home from close range to extend 4.25’s lead.
Another perfect corner delivery from Kang Ryon in the 71st minute saw Choe Song Gyong ghosting in at the near post to glance a header past Thi Kim Thanh.
Ri Su Yang tapped home the fifth in the 87th minute thanks to Choe Il Son’s cut-back and Song Gyong powered another header home in stoppage time to seal 4.25’s qualification to the quarter-finals in style.
