Dramatic ticket to semi-finals

With a force that is considered superior, the Hanoi University of Physical Education and Sports wants to deal with the opponent Van Hien University right in the official match time, to avoid having to go to a penalty shootout. The proactive attacking game was created by the players from the capital Hanoi, but it was not until the last minute of the first half that they had the opening goal. The scorer for the Hanoi University of Physical Education and Sports team was the familiar name Vu Viet Hoang, who had previously scored 3 goals. He also scored the goal to raise the score to 2-0 for the Hanoi University of Physical Education and Sports team.

The two goals that Viet Hoang scored against Van Hien University not only helped Hanoi University of Physical Education and Sports win a ticket to the semi-finals but also helped him lead the top scorer title with 5 goals. "Today I have a cold so I am not in the best condition. However, I feel very happy because I contributed my efforts to help the team win a ticket to the semi-finals. My teammates and I will put all our efforts into the important semi-final match against a strong opponent, Da Nang University of Physical Education and Sports," Hoang shared.

Meanwhile, the Van Hien University players also had an impressive second half. After Vo Tran Hoang Phuc headed the ball to reduce the score to 1-2 in the 61st minute, the Van Hien University players were in high spirits. Coach Hoang Hai Duong’s students launched an overwhelming attack, creating many scoring opportunities but were unable to capitalize on them.

The final quarter-final match between Thanh Hoa University of Culture, Sports and Tourism and Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology was full of tension. The two rookie teams of the 2025 TNSV THACO Cup Finals have quite similar playing styles: closely following the opponent, not afraid of collision, and quickly launching attacks. Therefore, fans witnessed a nerve-wracking match with many quality moves. The representative team of Ho Chi Minh City, Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology, successfully neutralized many sharp attacks from both wings of Thanh Hoa University of Culture, Sports and Tourism. Not only that, Coach Nguyen Quoc Nam's students also had many impressive attacks. If it weren't for the talent of Lao goalkeeper Thatsa Xaijasone, Thanh Hoa University of Culture, Sports and Tourism would have conceded at least 3 goals.

Ngan Nhu Dung was the most outstanding player in the second half, helping Thanh Hoa University of Culture, Sports and Tourism dominate the opponent at many times. In the 60th minute, he dribbled at speed, skillfully eliminating a series of players from Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology and then fired a tricky shot, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. However, joy also came to the Thanh team when captain Le Van Thuc shone with the opening goal in the 71st minute from a clever move, strong acceleration and accurate shot. This was also the only goal of the match, thereby helping Thanh Hoa University of Culture, Sports and Tourism win the last ticket to the semi-finals.
