Hai Yen scored in the naval battle, Hanoi temporarily took the top spot from the defending champion.

Winning the earliest match of round 4 of the National Women's Championship - Thai Son Bac Cup 2025 on September 17, the Hanoi team temporarily took the top spot from the defending champion Ho Chi Minh City I.

Hai Yen played excellently

Than KSVN team only won 1-0 while Phong Phu Ha Nam was powerless against TP.HCM II team with a 0-0 draw in round 3, so Hanoi entered the match with high concentration because they fully understood that coach Luu Ngoc Mai instructed his students to "park the bus" in front of their team's goal.

The actual developments on the field in the first 45 minutes showed that the Ho Chi Minh City II team only stayed around 1/3 of the field to defend in order to repel the attacks of Hanoi . The heavy rain made the field wet, giving the advantage to the Ho Chi Minh City II team. For example, in the 32nd minute, striker Hai Yen broke through, had open space to shoot, but before the 16.50m line, a puddle of water made the ball unable to roll, creating an opportunity for the students of coach Luu Ngoc Mai to rush in to clear the ball.

However, Hanoi's efforts were finally rewarded. The fast, intense and diverse attacks of coach Phung Thi Minh Nguyet's students also made Ho Chi Minh City II team confused, leading to missed clearances, creating favorable attacks for Hanoi.

After breaking into the opponent's penalty area, Thuy Nhi fired a dangerous shot into the far corner to open the score for the home team in the 39th minute. In the second half, Hanoi continued to take the initiative on the field but it was not until the 60th minute that they scored their second goal.

From a cross from her teammate on the right wing, Hai Yen jumped high to head the ball, goalkeeper Kieu My kicked the ball out and Hai Yen was there in time to score the rebound, raising the score to 2-0 for the home team. The score of 2-0 was a safe guarantee for a win, so Hanoi was a bit down.

This almost made them concede a goal in the 79th minute. Kieu Nghi had a free run down the right wing and then fired a shot that went wide of the post. In the end, Hanoi won 2-0 to temporarily climb to the top with 19 points.

If team TP.HCM I (9 points) defeats Than KSVN on the afternoon of September 18, team TP.HCM I will regain the top spot.
