Since there is no chance of winning the V-League, the National Cup is considered the arena to help both teams avoid a trophyless season.

Viettel entered the game more proactively thanks to the mobility of Hoang Duc and Van Hao.

In the 15th minute, the army team almost opened the score after Hoang Duc passed the ball to Van Hao who ran down and shot over the crossbar.

In the following minutes, the match was balanced, with neither side having many notable situations.

After the break, the situation on the field did not change much, although both teams made personnel adjustments.

Both Viettel and Thanh Hoa's attacks showed deadlock and lacked innovation.

Therefore, it is not surprising that the 90 minutes of official play ended without any goals being scored.

In the nerve-wracking penalty shootout, Thanh Hoa showed more courage when they successfully executed all 5 kicks to win 5-2 overall.

Result Thanh Hoa vs Viettel: 0-0 (Penalty shootout: 5-3)

Line-up:

Thanh Hoa: Thanh Diep, Minh Tung, Van Loi, Thai Binh , Ngoc Tan, Thai Son, Thanh Long, A Mit, Bruno Cunha, Gustavo Santos, Ti Phong

Viettel: Van Phong, Van Quyet, Tien Dung, Thanh Binh, Tuan Tai, Jaha, Hoang Duc, Van Hao, Tien Anh, Manh Dung, Mohamed Essam.
