The first match of the second round was the confrontation between Zantino Vinh Phuc and Son La. A surprise soon arose right after the referee's opening whistle. In the 12th minute, Zantino Vinh Phuc quickly opened the score.
From a free kick on the right wing, Son La player defended confusedly for Hoang Thi Thai An to head the ball from close range to break the deadlock for the rookie team of the tournament. Not accepting the loss, Son La rushed forward to attack in search of an equalizer.
However, coach Luong Van Chuyen's students did not play impressively. The hot weather is also the reason why the players on both sides are a bit tired. Zantino Vinh Phuc even had a better time playing. In the 29th minute, Nguyen Thi Ngoc Anh passed 2 Zantino Vinh Phuc players and fired a very dangerous long-range shot from outside the penalty area to return the match to a level playing field. The first half ended in a 1-1 draw with a balanced game.
In the second half, Son La played much better than they did in the early stages of the match. The mountain team continuously attacked but missed many opportunities. Finally, the individual brilliance of the players helps them make a difference. In the 64th minute, from Ngoc Anh's beautiful free kick, Phuong Chinh finished with a classy one-touch shot to seal a 2-1 victory for Son La.
In the late match of round 2, Hanoi had a day of competition that was not excellent and less than good luck. Despite the impressive victory on the opening day, the capital team wasted many opportunities and had to accept a 0-0 draw against Ho Chi Minh City.
