* Comment before the match
Originally a highly rated team in the TNSV THACO cup 2025, the Van Lang University team suddenly “fell” in the first match. They conceded a goal in extra time and lost bitterly to the Ho Chi Minh City University of Industry team. Even coach Ta Hong Ha of the Ho Chi Minh City University of Industry team also regretted the Van Lang University team because this team played well but lost according to a scenario no one expected.
Therefore, in the second round, the Van Lang University team had to win to escape the bottom position in the rankings. If they lose or only have 1 point, they will likely no longer have the right to self-determination in their hands and may have to soon say goodbye to the TNSV THACO cup 2025.
The Van Lang University team has no way back
The Van Lang University team has a lot of experience and desire, but it is not easy for them to defeat the Gia Dinh University team. Look at how the Gia Dinh University team got 1 point against the RMIT University team to see how stubborn they are. The Family University team was behind twice and scored the equalizer twice in extra time (45+2′ and 80+5′). The Van Lang University team needs to be careful because their weakness (lack of concentration, conceding a goal in injury time) is the opponent’s strength (determination to the end, scoring in injury time).
With what happened in the first round, the audience can expect that the Van Lang University team and the Gia Dinh University team will have a tense, dramatic match until the final moments. These two teams also have more motivation to win because only when they win 3 points can they narrow the gap with the top team, Ho Chi Minh City University of Industry. In the match that took place on the morning of January 4, the Ho Chi Minh City University of Industry team defeated the RMIT University team with a score of 4-2 to monopolize the top spot in the table with 6 absolute points after 2 matches.
