On the afternoon of March 31st, the final matches of the group stage of the 2025 Women’s Football National Cup took place, determining the teams that advanced to the quarterfinals.
Having secured a spot in the next round early, TP.HCM and Thái Nguyên T&T did not field their strongest lineups in the final match of Group A. TP.HCM rested key players like Chương Thị Kiều, Phan Thị Trang, and captain Huỳnh Như. On the other hand, Coach Văn Thị Thanh kept her star player Bích Thùy on the bench for Thái Nguyên T&T. With a better goal difference, TP.HCM only needed a draw to finish top of the group. The team from Ho Chi Minh City was not in a rush to attack and played cautiously for most of the first half. There were chances created, but both sides missed some promising opportunities. The first 45 minutes passed without any goals. The nature of the match meant that both coaches were cautious and reluctant to take risks. In the second half, Thái Nguyên T&T made an effort but did not press high continuously; instead, they focused on applying pressure and waiting for any mistakes from their opponent. TP.HCM successfully held on to a 0-0 draw. In Group A, TP.HCM and Thái Nguyên T&T advanced to the semifinals as the top two teams.
In Group B, Hà Nội had to secure a victory against Than KSVN to keep their hopes of advancing alive. With nothing left to lose, the capital team surged forward in attack right from the start. Fairly speaking, Hà Nội played well and quickly got what they needed. In the 10th minute, Đặng Thị Duyên scored to give Hà Nội the lead. However, they were unable to maintain their advantage. In the first half, Nguyễn Thị Vạn scored the equalizer for Than KSVN, making it 1-1. In the second half, Hà Nội’s attacks lacked sharpness, and they had to settle for a draw after 90 minutes of play. Phong Phú Hà Nam and Than KSVN advanced to the semifinals as the top two teams in Group B.
