* Comment on the match
After the shock of Thanh Hoa University of Culture, Sports and Tourism (VH-Sport-DL) with an impressive victory over host University of Water Resources in the play-off match yesterday (January 9), fans are anxiously waiting for another surprise to appear, when the strong team of Hanoi University of Sports and Education takes on Hanoi University of Industry in the second play-off match, taking place at 2:00 p.m. today.
The victory of Thanh Hoa University of Culture, Sports and Tourism broke the dominance based on the rule of “the strong win, the weak lose” in the school football playground, which has long been held by the University of Water Resources and the University of Pedagogy and Sports of Ha Noi. Noi are the two dominant faces. Also a rookie in the northern qualifying round of TNSV THACO cup 2025, the Hanoi University of Industry team may create a shock against Hanoi University of Physical Education and Sports.
The Hanoi University of Industry team (yellow jersey) entered the play-off round in their first participation in the TNSV THACO cup.
Because even though they are not highly appreciated, new recruits from Hanoi University of Industry are bringing a new and exciting breeze. Uncomfortable counter-attacking defensive play and the ability to take advantage of opportunities helped the Hanoi University of Industry team win 4 points in the group with Thanh Hoa University of Culture, Sports and Tourism and Hanoi University of Business and Technology. . Without making fancy kicks or “embroidering flowers and weaving brocade”, the Hanoi University of Industry team plays simply but effectively: exploiting fixed situations, unleashing punishment when the opponent pushes the team high.
It is not difficult to imagine that the Hanoi University of Industry team will strain their defense against Hanoi University of Physical Education and Sports, which possesses the most impressive attacking style of play in the Northern school football playground. Coach Pham Minh and his team won both matches against the National Economics University and the Vietnam-Hungary University of Industry in the group stage with large scores, even though they were not at their full potential. With the quality of players much better than the average student soccer level, and a smooth kicking style thanks to regular practice on field 11, Hanoi University of Sports and Education is an opponent that no team wants to face.
However in football, anything can happen. The stubborn victory of the Thanh Hoa University of Culture, Sports and Tourism team over the reigning runner-up Irrigation will be the inspiration for the Hanoi University of Industry team to dream of causing a surprise and winning a valuable ticket to the final round. Conclusion of THACO Cup 2025.
