Vietnam can not reach the knockout stages after their second loss at the FIFA Women’s World Cup but Group E remains open to an upset.
After Thursday’s results, the Netherlands go into their last game expected to beat Vietnam, meaning champions United States will need a draw or better against Portugal to go through to the Round of 16.
Another large crowd — 27,312 — turned up for the United States/Netherlands game on a Thursday afternoon in the capital.
