Looking back at the National Cup semi-final, it can be seen that Hanoi Police had an easy victory over The Cong Viettel . This was contrary to the prediction of a dramatic match. After 14 minutes of play, Hanoi Police opened the score thanks to Hugo Gomes. Then Quang Hai doubled the gap in the 18th minute.
After conceding 2 goals, The Cong Viettel tried to attack and was rewarded in the 37th minute. From a coordinated situation, Huu Thang finished close to the goal to reduce the score to 1-2 for The Cong Viettel. However, just 3 minutes later, Alan put Cong An Ha Noi ahead 3-1 and this was also the result of the match. With this victory, Cong An Ha Noi entered the final match.

The opponent of Hanoi Police was identified as Song Lam Nghe An - the team that won Binh Duong in the other semi-final match with more drama. The fact that Song Lam Nghe An was not rated higher when they had to struggle to stay in the V.League, that was considered an opportunity for Hanoi Police to gain an advantage. Although the match took place at Vinh Stadium, the Police team still had confidence.
Coach Polking said: “The final will be just one match. Song Lam Nghe An is excellent, they have defeated many opponents, won many matches to reach this final match. For me, each final match is very difficult, so the whole team's job now is to focus fully and try our best in this final match. I am very confident, we will fight with all our might”.
“We have reached the second final of this season, we are very happy. But Hanoi Police need to be calm because there is one more match ahead, an extremely difficult match. The whole team must concentrate to the maximum. We have some plans for the next match. The whole team still has a little time before the final takes place and will try to complete it.”
This season, Hanoi Police only won 3rd place in V.League. Although they entered the final of the Southeast Asian Cup C1, coach Poking and his team unfortunately lost to Buriram on penalties in the second leg of the final. Hanoi Police is facing another final. They are aiming for the championship as a beautiful ending to a season in which the team played well but did not have a worthy title.
For Song Lam Nghe An, successfully staying in the V.League has helped them relieve some of the psychological pressure. Coach Phan Nhu Thuat said: “Staying in the league is a great spiritual encouragement. When the burden is relieved, the players play more confidently, which is an important contribution to the success of today's semi-final match.”
“After 8 years, Song Lam Nghe An has finally reached the National Cup final. My whole team and I feel very happy. This is the result of the tireless efforts and solidarity of the whole team,” said coach Phan Nhu Thuat.
However, this is still a match in which Song Lam Nghe An is rated higher. They have more advantages to win the championship. The National Cup title will help the Public Security team confidently look forward to the new season with many ambitions. As for Song Lam Nghe An, if they can create a surprise, it will be a big boost for coach Phan Nhu Thuat and the players in this year's season.
The 2024-2025 National Cup final will take place at 6:00 p.m. on June 29 at Vinh Stadium (Nghe An).
Tien Linh lost the title of V.League's top scorer
The V.League 2024-2025 Organizing Committee has just announced official end-of-season statistics, confirming that the two players who won the Golden Boot award are Alan Sebastiao Alexandre (Hanoi Police) and Lucao (Hai Phong), both scoring 14 goals.
Previously, striker Nguyen Tien Linh (Binh Duong) was said to have the same number of goals as Alan and Lucao, after scoring another goal in round 26 to help the home team beat Thanh Hoa 1-0. However, after reviewing professional data, the organizing committee determined that a goal by Tien Linh in round 25 was not recognized.
Accordingly, the 90+3 minute of the match between Binh Duong and Hai Phong in round 25 was determined to be an own goal by defender Bui Tien Dung of Hai Phong, not a goal by Tien Linh as initially reported. Therefore, Tien Linh's number of goals was adjusted from 14 to 13, making him no longer in the top scorer group. However, Tien Linh is still the domestic player with the most goals of the season and received the title of V.League 2024-2025 domestic top scorer. The award ceremony for the top scorer and individual categories will be held at V.League Awards 2024-2025, taking place at 3:30 p.m. on July 1, 2025 in Hanoi.
