In front of the large audience at home, the players of Dong Thap University entered the match enthusiastically. In the first minute, the home team opened the scoring after Ngoc Luan's close-range shot, when the opponent's defense was confused in clearing the ball.
Not stopping there, just 10 minutes later, the midfielder wearing the No. 7 shirt of Dong Thap University continued to shine with a decisive shot to increase the score to 2-0, complete an individual double and lay the foundation for the home team's victory.
For most of the first half, Can Tho University was almost at a disadvantage, only having a significant opportunity in the 33rd minute but could not take advantage when goalkeeper Nhut Hao from Dong Thap University played solidly.
In the second half, coach Joao Pedro and his team proactively slowed down the tempo, focused on controlling the ball and maintaining the game, giving the opponent no chance to turn the situation around.
With a convincing 2-0 victory, Dong Thap University won the championship trophy and a prize of 10 million VND. Despite the failure, Can Tho University is still highly appreciated for its competitive spirit and won the remaining spot with Dong Thap University representing the Southwestern region to participate in the national finals, scheduled to take place in Hanoi in mid-November.
The championship not only affirms the strength of Dong Thap University in the regional playground but also demonstrates the quality of sports training of this school in the student football movement nationwide.
