According to the draw results, 6 teams benefited and did not have to compete in the qualifying round, including HAGL, Dong A Thanh Hoa, Hanoi FC, SLNA, Nam Dinh and Hanoi Police Club. The first 10 qualifying matches took place without many surprises. The stronger teams all advanced to the next round.
The most notable match took place between HAGL and Truong Tuoi Binh Phuoc . The representative from the Southeast region narrowly defeated Ho Chi Minh City Youth in the qualifying round with the only goal scored by Nguyen Cong Phuong. The striker born in 1995 will reunite with his old team in an emotional match.
Schedule of the 1/8 round of the National Cup 2024/2025.
Another name that caught attention was Phu Dong Ninh Binh . They overcame Ho Chi Minh City after a penalty shootout with the brilliance of Dang Van Lam. Coach Nguyen Viet Thang and his team have many opportunities to enter the quarterfinals when they only have to face Ba Ria Vung Tau, who are not highly rated.
The reigning East Asian champions Thanh Hoa begin their National Cup defence with a home game against Hai Phong. Notably, they also met this opponent in the quarter-finals last year and won after a penalty shootout.
This bracket will have another unpredictable match between Ha Tinh and Hanoi Police Club. If they defeat their opponents, Hanoi Police Club will face Dong A Thanh Hoa. Meanwhile, The Cong Viettel will not be allowed to use foreign players when they meet PVF-CAND. Last year, the army team struggled to beat PVF-CAND after a penalty shootout.
Hanoi FC has the easiest schedule among the championship candidates. The capital team welcomes Dong Thap at home. SHB.Da Nang reunites with SLNA after the two teams just drew 0-0 in V.League.
The most balanced match is the match between Nam Dinh Blue Steel and Binh Duong. These two teams have very strong forces and it is difficult to predict the result.
The matches in the 1/8 round of the National Cup 2024/2025 will take place in mid-January 2025.
