The Humanities Women's Football Team won the championship cup of the VNU student football tournament

Dominating from the first minutes

The two teams chose two different ways to start the game. While the girls from the University of Social Sciences and Humanities actively attacked, putting pressure on the opponent's field, on the opposite side, the University of Natural Sciences chose to play a defensive game with a large number of players at home and waited for the opportunity to counterattack.

Under great pressure from the attack of the University of Social Sciences and Humanities, the female players of the Natural side were repeatedly threatened by the strikers of the Humanities. In just the first 5 minutes of the match, the number 8 of the University of Social Sciences and Humanities, Trinh Thi Quynh, had 2 shots towards the Natural goal, one of which was a face-to-face situation with the goalkeeper. However, Trinh Thi Quynh still could not score a goal for herself.

Although they fought back well against the attacks from the University of Social Sciences and Humanities, under too much pressure, the players of the University of Natural Sciences made mistakes. From a straight pass from goalkeeper Phan Thuy Duong of the Humanities, the goalkeeper of the University of Natural Sciences did not catch the ball firmly and let the ball roll into the net, to the astonishment of the home team.

While the players of the University of Social Sciences and Humanities were still struggling to recover from the loss, the girls of the Faculty of Humanities scored a goal just a few minutes later. Starting from Lam Thi Anh's attack on the left wing, the ball was passed to Trinh Thi Quynh. Surrounded by the opposing defenders, the number 8 of the University of Social Sciences and Humanities quickly tapped the ball into the net, raising the score to 2-0. At this time, the clock had just reached the 23rd minute.

Tight defense, quick counterattack in the second half

After taking a big lead in the first half, the female players of the University of Social Sciences and Humanities switched to a tight defense strategy, combined with quick counterattacks. This strategy broke the counterattacks of the female players of the University of Natural Sciences.

In the beginning of the second half, the number 7 of Natural – Nguyen Thi Tra – had many tricky dribbling situations, causing difficulties for the defenders of Humanities. However, the Natural players still did not have any clear chances towards the opponent’s goal when the defenders of the University of Social Sciences and Humanities played very solidly. It was not until the 37th minute that the Natural players had a dangerous shot from Bui Thi Thu Anh, but it was blocked by Phan Thuy Duong.

Despite many attacks but not scoring, the Natural Science girls had to receive two more consecutive goals. Still from a long pass by Phan Thuy Duong, the goalkeeper of the University of Natural Sciences failed to catch the ball under pressure from Hoang Thu Hoai and let the ball bounce right in front of this striker. Despite the chaotic situation, Thu Hoai still quickly put the ball into the net, raising the score to 3-0 for the Humanities girls.

And just 2 minutes before the end of the match, in a counter-attack by the University of Social Sciences and Humanities, the ball came to Trinh Thi Quynh's feet right in front of the natural penalty area. The number 8 player unleashed a very difficult shot, the ball went close to the post and there was no chance for the goalkeeper to block it. The score was set at 4-0 for the University of Social Sciences and Humanities.

Scoring 4 goals and not conceding any, the girls from Nhan Van proved that they were completely worthy of winning this Final. A resounding victory, as if to confirm the No. 1 position in the women's football village of VNU.
