The match between Thanh Hoa and HAGL in the National Cup qualifying round was tense but lacked creativity. In the first half, both teams played a tug-of-war, pressing fiercely but not creating many clear opportunities, ending 0-0.
In the second half, the turning point came in the 60th minute when prodigy Gia Bao skillfully controlled the ball and finished neatly, opening the score for HAGL. Thanh Hoa pressed forward to find an equalizer, in which Mbodj's header in the 71st minute hit the crossbar, but luck did not smile.
Although coach Choi Won Kwon sent Rimario onto the field, Thanh Hoa's attack was still deadlocked. In the 88th minute, Cao Hoang Minh unleashed a powerful long-range shot, sealing a 2-0 victory for HAGL. This result resulted in Thanh Hoa being eliminated early, while HAGL advanced with an impressive performance.

Starting lineup Thanh Hoa vs HAGL
Pre-match review
Thanh Hoa is going through the most difficult period in its history with only 1 point after the first 3 rounds of V.League 2025/26 and is temporarily at the bottom of the table. The consecutive failures have severely affected the team's morale, especially after the incident when the club's President, Mr. Cao Tien Doan, was arrested for violating accounting regulations.
However, the sponsor Dong A still affirmed to continue accompanying, helping the Thanh team stabilize again. In the near future, Thanh Hoa will face HAGL in the 2025/26 National Cup qualifying round, in the context that both teams have 1 point in V.League and are considered "miserable".
This will be an opportunity for coach Choi Won Kwon and his team to regain hope with a victory, while HAGL will likely prioritize V.League, possibly using a young squad to save energy for key players in the domestic arena.
Force information
Thanh Hoa will not have midfielder Doan Ngoc Tan due to injury. HAGL will likely use a squad with many reserve players.
