As the end of the AFC preliminary round approached, the tension mounted in the matches played on SUN 09-MON 10 APR 2017.

• Uzbekistan 00-04 Korea DPR: The Uzbeks’ hopes of reaching the Women’s Asian Cup were ended by a clinical performance from the Group B host side. SUNG Hyang Sim and KIM Yun Mi scored two goals each as Korea DPR still lead the group, having played all their matches. Korea Rep can steal the group title by defeating Uzbekistan on Tuesday: a 1-0 win leaves the two Koreas dead even, whilst Korea Rep would advance by winning on any other scoreline.
• Iran 01-06 Vietnam: Zahra GHANBARI put Iran ahead eight minutes in, but a four goal second half turned things around. Group D now comes down to Vietnam and Myanmar, who play one another on Tuesday in the group decider. Vietnam currently have the edge on goal difference and would advance if there is a draw.
• Philippines 01-01 Bahrain: With her Bahrainian squad needing three points to stay alive in Group A, Noora Sami AL DOSSARY scored just before the hour mark. But the Philippines fought back and equalised through Anicka CASTAÑEDA in the 82nd minute. The Philippines earn their ticket to the Women’s Asian Cup; even if tournament host Jordan top the group, the Philippines are five points clear of the rest of the pack with one match to play.
• Advanced this matchday: Philippines
• Eliminated this matchday: Bahrain, Iran, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan
