HA NOI — HCM City 2 secured their first win in the National Women’s Football Championship on Thursday by beating Ha Noi 2 2-1 at home in Thong Nhat Stadium.
The wet field did not hamper Ho Thi Anh Dao from opening the score in the 15th minute. She broke into the box to face keeper Thu Phuong and slotted into far corner.
The away side equalized through Nguyen Thi Thuy in the 34th minute from close-range.
The hosts restored their lead when Nguyen Thi Thanh Tam took full advantage of Phuong’s mistake to finish into an empty net in the 71st minute.
They nearly had a third goal when Ngoc Mai’s shot hit the bar two minutes before the end.
In a later match, Ha Noi 1 trounced Son La 3-0 to take top spot back from HCM City 1.
Son La are in fifth place with six points.
In the next fixture on Sunday, HCM City 2 will play TNG Thai Nguyen and Son La will meet Phong Phu Ha Nam. One day later, Viet Nam Coal and Minerals will see Ha Noi 2 before Ha Noi 1 face HCM City 1. — VNS
