China women defeated Vietnam 3-0 at the Asian Games on 20 September 2026. The result leaves both sides level on six points, though China sit top of the table with one game fewer played. To be fair, this is not a surprise outcome given recent form.
China remain unbeaten in two matches, winning both. Vietnam have played three games, securing two victories but suffering one defeat. The gap between them is minimal on points, yet the standings tell a different story.
Vietnam's previous encounter with China ended 0-3 on 28 August. Since then they lost to South Korea 3-1 while beating Hong Kong and Qatar. By then they had already seen China's quality on the field.
China's record shows consistent performances: 3-0 against Kazakhstan and the Philippines, a 2-3 loss to Thailand, and 3-0 wins over Iran and Vietnam. They have not dropped points in five of their last six matches.
The win extends China's unbeaten run and keeps them at the summit. Vietnam's defeat means they must now play catch-up in what could be a decisive phase of the tournament.
