Viettel: Ngoc Son 75’

Hanoi FC: Thai Quy 81’, Quang Hai 89’

Numerous chances were created by Hanoi within the first 15 minutes. On 75 minutes, underdogs Viettel thought that had sealed the win when midfielder Ngọc Sơn broke the deadlock in what up until that point, had been an uneventful affair.

But Vietel held their lead for just seven minutes. Hanoi found the equalizer in the 81st minute when substitute midfielder Truong Van Thai Quy received a pass from Nguyen Thanh Chung’s head and scored with a powerful shot. 9 minutes later, Thai Quy opened the chance for Quang Hai to make a volley into the goal of Viettel.

For the first time in 16 years, Hà Nội have regained the National Cup, a feat only achieved back in 2004 by Bình Định.
