The 2025 Press Cup football tournament in the Southern region ended emotionally with the final match between two undefeated teams: HTV and the Lien Quan Bao Phap Luat TP.HCM - Znews. In the tense confrontation, both teams showed remarkable courage, ending the official match with a 1-1 draw. And it was only thanks to the nerve-wracking penalty shootout that the championship was decided.

With a coolness on the penalty spot and a bit of luck smiling, HTV won 3-1, stepping onto the highest podium for the first time in the playground reserved for the press in the Southern region. A completely worthy victory for the station.

Meanwhile, Znews - Ho Chi Minh City Law Newspaper has created an inspiring journey despite not being ranked among the top candidates before the tournament started. However, with disciplined play, solidarity and admirable tenacity, the team advanced all the way to the final without losing a single match.

At Phu Tho Stadium on the afternoon of May 23, the "dark horse" of Ho Chi Minh City Law Newspaper - Znews only had to surrender to HTV after a lucky penalty shootout. This was a somewhat regrettable but proud ending for the team's resilient journey at the Press Cup 2025 in the Southern region.

The strong mark in the journey to create miracles of Ho Chi Minh City Law - Znews lies in the solid defense with the central defender duo Kien Cuong - Ly Hoang playing firmly and courageously. In the midfield, Nguyen Huy and Thanh Hai played aggressively, connecting smoothly between the lines.

Meanwhile, captain Quang Huy is always the spiritual flame, appearing at the right time at key moments to lift the team's spirit. We also cannot fail to mention goalkeeper Phan Khoi with his amazing flying moves, being the support for the whole team throughout the tournament.

In the third-place match, VnExpress defeated Nguoi Lao Dong Newspaper in a penalty shootout after a 2-2 draw in regulation time. Thus, the two leading teams in the Southern region - HTV and Phap Luat TP.HCM/Znews, will represent the country in the 2025 Press Cup national finals held in Bac Ninh in early June.

Not only a sports tournament, Press Cup is also an opportunity for reporters, editors and journalists across the country to meet, exchange and strengthen solidarity in a collegial playground.

In particular, this year's national champion team will have the opportunity to compete in a friendly Super Cup match with the Thai press team. This promises to be an exciting competition between two regional presses, while also having the meaning of connecting, towards the 100th anniversary of Vietnam Revolutionary Press Day (June 21, 1925 - June 21, 2025).

The Press Cup 2025 in the Southern region ended with many emotions and beautiful images, a vivid testament to the sportsmanship, professionalism and bravery of journalists in modern life.
