Being rated higher, Thai Nguyen T&T proactively pushed up the squad right after the opening whistle and created great pressure on Hanoi II's goal. However, the home team with a young force played resiliently, making it difficult for the opponent's strikers to find their way into the goal.
The turning point of the match came in the 31st minute. From a corner kick on the right wing, Thu Thin put the ball into the penalty area, causing goalkeeper Hoai Thuong to handle it indecisively. Thu Trang quickly rushed in to finish from close range, opening the score for Thai Nguyen T&T.
Having a goal lead, the tea country team continued to control the game in the remainder of the first half. Although creating some more opportunities, coach Doan Viet Trieu's students could not increase the gap before the break.
In the second half, Thai Nguyen T&T was still the overwhelming team. However, the rain appeared, making the field slippery, significantly affecting the handling and finishing. The away team missed many good chances before scoring the second goal in the 85th minute.
This time, Thu Thin continued to leave her mark with an accurate cross from the right wing, creating conditions for Duong Thi Van to jump high and head the ball into Hanoi II's net, sealing a 2-0 victory.
With 3 points obtained, Thai Nguyen T&T increased the total points to 7 after 3 matches, temporarily rising to second place and only 2 points behind the leading team TPHCM I, but has played one more match.
Meanwhile, Hanoi II has not yet won after 4 rounds, only won 1 point and is ranked 6th in the standings.
In the remaining matches of round 4 taking place on July 5, Hanoi I will meet Phong Phu Ha Nam at 4:00 PM, while Than Khoang San Vietnam will face Ho Chi Minh City I at 5:00 PM.
