The competition between Vietnam Coal and Minerals women and Thai Nguyen T&T in the 2024 National Cup final is predicted to be evenly matched. While the Vietnam Coal and Minerals women’s team has an equal lineup of players with Thuy Hang, Nguyen Thi Van, Thu Xuan, Duong Thi Van, the Thai Nguyen T&T women’s team has stars like Bich Thuy, Kim Thanh, Tran Thi Thu, My Older brother…
This group of seasoned players has promoted young talents, helping Thai Nguyen T&T have the opportunity to win an official title in the Vietnamese women’s football playground for the first time in history.

In the final match, Thai Nguyen T&T played confidently against Vietnam Coal and Minerals. Coach Van Thi Thanh asked his students to focus on defense.
However, the first dangerous opportunity still belongs to the Vietnam Coal and Minerals women’s team. Thuy Hang and Thu Xuan respectively had the opportunity to approach Thai Nguyen T&T’s goal. Unfortunately, their finishing touches could not bring a goal. Right after that, it was Bich Thuy’s turn to enter the penalty area of Vietnam Coal and Minerals, but the 1994 midfielder failed to score.
Overall, the first half was exciting as Vietnam Coal and Minerals and Thai Nguyen T&T were ready to attack in search of a goal. However, the strikers of the two teams have not yet shown the necessary sharpness to break the deadlock. The first 45 minutes passed without a goal being scored.
Entering the second half, the chemistry and technical qualities of Vietnam Coal and Minerals partly promoted their advantage. Duong Thi Van and Nguyen Thi Van continued to show the ability to control the ball well in the midfield. But we also have to wait until our personal shining moment for Vietnam Coal and Minerals to get what we need.
Vietnam Coal and Minerals women’s team was crowned champion
In the 79th minute, Nguyen Thi Van accelerated very quickly, forcing defender Thai Nguyen T&T to commit a foul in the penalty area. It was the midfielder born in 1997 who opened the score for Vietnam Coal and Minerals with a decisive left-foot penalty kick, not giving Kim Thanh a chance to show off his talent.
With nothing left to lose, Thai Nguyen T&T rose up to attack strongly. But, in the remaining 10 minutes of the match, the tea team’s efforts were not rewarded. They had to accept a 0-1 defeat and watch Vietnam Coal and Minerals lift the championship trophy. Thus, Duong Thi Van and her teammates successfully defended the title they won last season.
