The final match of the 2025 National Women's Football Cup was a match between Thai Nguyen T&T and Ho Chi Minh City. The team from the city named after Uncle Ho played more impressively and controlled the game well on the field. However, the absence of overseas Vietnamese players like in the group stage somewhat affected the quality of Ho Chi Minh City's attacks. In the first half, it was not easy for Ho Chi Minh City to penetrate the well-organized defense of Thai Nguyen T&T. Coach Van Thi Thanh understood that they could not risk attacking and then receive a "counterattack".

However, the Thai Nguyen T&T defenders still could not stand firm against the pressure of Ho Chi Minh City. In the 37th minute, a Thai Nguyen T&T player let the ball touch his hand in the penalty area and a penalty was awarded to Ho Chi Minh City. There was no surprise when Huynh Nhu successfully finished to open the score for Ho Chi Minh City. In the remaining time of the first half, the tea team tried hard but could not find an equalizer. The two teams entered the break with the advantage for Ho Chi Minh City.

In the second half, Thai Nguyen T&T made some adjustments in the hope of finding an equalizer. However, Bich Thuy and her teammates faced many challenges against the more courageous Ho Chi Minh City. Huynh Nhu and her teammates played with concentration, successfully defending the score of 1-0 and Ho Chi Minh City officially won the 2025 National Women's Football Cup.
