HA NAM — Ha Noi overtook HCM City 1 to take the lead after the defending champions grabbed just 1 point after a 0-0 draw against Phong Phu Ha Nam in the 2nd round of the Women’s National Football Championship 2018 on May 24.

After losing in the 1st round, Phong Phu Ha Nam started the match with determination to clinch their first win of the season. While HCM City 1 showed a confident face after a big win against HCM City 2.

The match was balanced with chances created by both teams, but none were converted into goals.

Despite having more attempts, Ha Nam failed to score as their players wasted good chances.

Shooting accuracy is clearly a serious problem for Ha Nam as they couldn’t score a single goal after two matches in the tournament despite numerous attempts.

Earlier at 4pm, Ha Noi had a difficult 2-1 win against HCM City 2.

HCM City 2 surprisingly lead the scoresheet in the 33rd minute with an opening goal scored by Thanh Nhu after a rare counterattack.

But in the 61st minute, after a corner, Ha Noi’s striker Pham Hai Yen equalized with a header.

HCM couldn’t survive for long under Ha Noi’s massive pressure. The winning goal came 25 minutes later from substitute Nguyen Thi Hue and sealed the victory for Ha Noi.

The result helped Ha Noi climb to the top of the table, while HCM City 1 dropped to 2nd place. — VNS
