Winning streak broken, TP.HCM I loses top spot

Defending champion Ho Chi Minh City I suffered their first defeat at the National Women's Football Championship - Thai Son Bac Cup 2025, thereby losing the top spot to Hanoi after round 4.

Huynh Nhu could not help TP.HCM I avoid the first defeat of the season.

Entering the match against Than KSVN with a 3-match winning streak on the afternoon of September 18, TP.HCM I was rated higher. But a surprise happened in the first half when Huynh Nhu lost the ball in the middle of the field, opening up a counter-attack opportunity for Than KSVN. Nguyen Thi Van sent an accurate diagonal pass for Truc Huong to accelerate and coolly finish past goalkeeper Thu Em, opening the score 1-0.

With high spirits, the mining team played confidently, organized a tight defense and counterattacked sharply. In the 39th minute, Thuy Hang almost doubled the gap if Thu Em had not made an excellent save.

In the second half, coach Doan Thi Kim Chi launched an all-out attack, but all of TP.HCM I's strikers were neutralized. In the end, the champion fell 0-1, with only 9 points after 4 rounds and dropped to second place. Meanwhile, Hanoi took the lead with 10 points. Than KSVN ranked third with 7 points, continuing to prove themselves as a tough opponent.

In the remaining match, PP Ha Nam, despite scoring their first goal of the season, still lost 1-2 to Thai Nguyen T&T. Minh Chuyen opened the scoring for the tea team in the 35th minute. Although Anh Tran equalized 1-1 in the 83rd minute, just one minute later, Lo Thi Hoai scored in time, sealing a 2-1 victory. This was Thai Nguyen T&T's first win, helping them climb to fourth place with 5 points. PP Ha Nam was stuck in second-to-last place with 1 point, equal to TP.HCM II.
