HAGL officially clinched the championship at the brand-new 500 billion VND stadium.

Hanoi FC ended in a dramatic 2-2 draw with The Cong Viettel, leading Hoang Anh Gia Lai to win the Four-Team Tournament – Thai Nguyen 2025.

The "Capital Derby" match between Hanoi FC and The Cong Viettel at the final round of the Four-Team Football Tournament – Thai Nguyen 2025 unfolded with an unexpected storyline. Before kickoff, Hoang Anh Gia Lai’s surprising 0-1 loss to PVF-CAND opened a golden opportunity for both the soldier and purple-shirted teams. However, a dramatic draw saw both sides hold each other, indirectly allowing the Mountain Town team to claim the championship.

From the start, Hanoi FC took control of the ball under the orchestration of Do Hung Dung, while The Cong Viettel opted for a disciplined counter-attacking defensive strategy. The turning point came in the 35th minute when 17-year-old rising star Nguyen Hoang Khanh capitalized on a Hanoi defensive error with a precise angled shot, putting The Cong Viettel ahead 1-0.

In the second half, Hanoi FC’s intense pressure finally paid off. In the 64th minute, Nguyen Ha Anh Tuan scored a sharp long-range shot from outside the box, leveling the match. The chase continued as just 10 minutes later, substitute Nguyen Huu Thang received a pass from Danh Trung and volleyed beautifully to put the soldier team ahead 2-1.

Refusing to accept defeat, Hanoi FC launched a strong comeback. In the 80th minute, from a clever assist by Hung Dung, striker Nguyen Van Tung made a smart run and calmly finished to equalize at 2-2. The final minutes were extremely intense with fierce clashes. The climax came in the 86th minute when the referee issued two straight red cards to Nguyen Anh Tiep (Hanoi FC) and Nguyen Huu Thang (The Cong Viettel) following an altercation.

The 2-2 draw remained until the final whistle. It was a harsh outcome for the two capital representatives who delivered an impressive match but had to watch Hoang Anh Gia Lai take the crown on tiebreakers. The game was not only a high-level display of skill but also a dramatic conclusion, marking the end of a brilliantly successful tournament in Thai Nguyen.
