*Match review

The match between the two teams of Hanoi University of Physical Education and Sports and the National Economics University taking place at 9:00 a.m. today (December 31) will open Group B of the northern qualifying round of the 3rd Vietnam Youth Student Football Tournament - THACO Cup 2025 (TNSV THACO Cup 2025).

This was a well-balanced match between a powerhouse of student football and a team that has improved rapidly over the years.

The Hanoi University of Physical Education and Sports team is always a champion candidate in every school football tournament, with a consistent quality of the squad and football tradition. Regular practice and competition on the 11-a-side pitch helps Coach Pham Minh's team have a superior cohesion compared to the student football level. Along with the short ball playing style, beautiful passing, this is the leading candidate for a ticket to the final round of TNSV THACO cup 2025.

Meanwhile, the National Economics University team, although rated lower, still has the strength to create a surprise. Thanks to the development of the school football system (NEU League) and being coached by Mr. Le Quang Long (former Navibank Saigon player), the National Economics University team won a ticket to the final round of the first season of the Vietnam Youth Student Tournament . Although they did not get a ticket to the second season after losing to the Water Resources University team in the play-off round, this was still a lesson learned, helping the National Economics University team prepare more carefully when the third season's northern qualifying round begins.

With the format of only selecting the top team and the second-best team to advance, it means that the winner of this match is almost certain to secure a play-off ticket. That will urge both teams to give their all, because each mistake can lead to a very high price. The Hanoi University of Physical Education and Sports team has experience and let's see if the National Economics University team can create a surprise or not.
