In the latest match in the quarter-finals of the 2024-2025 National Cup taking place at Lach Tray Stadium, Hanoi Police Club came back to win 3-1 against Hai Phong.
This result helped the Police team win a ticket to the semi-finals. Their opponent is The Cong Viettel. Before that, coach Nguyen Duc Thang and his team easily defeated Hoang Anh Gia Lai with a score of 2-0 in the quarter-finals.
Hanoi Police and The Cong Viettel will create an attractive "Capital derby" match at Hang Day Stadium. In terms of force, Hanoi Police is slightly superior to their opponents. However, in terms of head-to-head record, the army team is superior, having won 4/5 of their most recent meetings.
Notably, The Cong Viettel defeated Hanoi Police 1-0 in the quarter-finals of the National Cup last season.
In addition, the remaining semi-final match of the 2024-2025 National Cup is the match between Binh Duong and Song Lam Nghe An. In the quarter-finals 3 weeks ago, Tien Linh and his teammates had to work very hard to overcome Phu Dong Ninh Binh after a dramatic penalty shootout.
Meanwhile, Song Lam Nghe An beat First Division Dong Thap with a score of 2-1.
Comparing the correlation between strength and level, Binh Duong is rated higher than its opponent. However, recently, they have experienced a series of unstable matches and inconsistent performance. On the other side, Song Lam Nghe An is also struggling in the race to stay in the V.League.
Currently, the semi-finals of the 2024-2025 National Cup do not have a specific competition schedule. The matches are expected to take place in June 2025, after the V.League ends.
