Against the rookie team Gia Dinh University, Ton Duc Thang University, with the home field advantage, played with excitement and finished more sharply. After 40 minutes of the first half, Ton Duc Thang University led by 2 goals. Le Hoang Manh headed the opening goal (minute 23) and Nigerian "foreign player" Oluka Praisegod took advantage of the opportunity from the penalty spot to seal a 2-0 victory for Ton Duc Thang University against Gia Dinh University.

Previously, in the first match of the THACO Cup 2024 tournament that took place yesterday morning (January 6), the Ho Chi Minh City University of Transport (HCMUT) team was rated higher, but had a shaky start against Dai Viet Sai Gon College. The Dai Viet Sai Gon College team, which recruited early and had been carefully prepared for many months, played confidently, proactively pressuring the opponent, forcing HCMCUT to deploy a defensive counterattack strategy.

Despite many attacks, Dai Viet Sai Gon College could not take advantage of the opportunities to score. According to the harsh rules of football, Dai Viet Sai Gon College wasted their chances and paid the price. Ho Chi Minh City University of Transport and Communications team proved to be extremely dangerous in counter-attacks. Coach Ho Van Lung's team played more and more "hot" and began to regain control of the game. At the beginning of the second half, Hoai An chose the right position to make a tricky header, scoring the only goal to help Ho Chi Minh City University of Transport and Communications defeat Dai Viet Sai Gon College with a score of 1-0.

After the competition on January 6, Ton Duc Thang University temporarily led Group 1 with 3 points (goal difference +2), Ho Chi Minh City University of Transport ranked second with 3 points (goal difference +1). Dai Viet Saigon College and Gia Dinh University ranked 3rd and 4th respectively in Group 1.
