Dong Nai University of Technology

*Match review

Dong Nai University of Technology had a forgettable opening match in the 3rd Vietnam Youth Student Football Tournament - 2025 THACO Cup. Coach Le Huu Phat and his team had a good game, creating many clear scoring opportunities against the Hanoi University of Physical Education and Sports.

However, striker Vu Minh Khai's wastefulness with 3 shots wide in situations where it was easier to shoot than miss, combined with goalkeeper Nguyen Duc Cong's mistake, caused the Southeast representative to suffer a crushing defeat.

The two goals conceded in the final minutes were a warning to Dong Nai University of Technology that in the Vietnamese Youth Student Football Tournament, simply playing "better" than the opponent is not enough. They must concentrate until the last seconds and seize the opportunity, if they do not want to stop.

Dong Nai University of Technology still has time to correct mistakes, with 2 matches ahead, in which the match against Ho Chi Minh City University of Industry at 3:30 p.m. today (March 6) is a golden opportunity for the Southeast representative to regain the joy of victory.

In their first participation in the TNSV THACO Cup, the Ho Chi Minh City University of Industry team clearly showed their weakness in experience. In the opening match against the Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology team, coach Ta Hong Ha and his team controlled the match, attacking well to put pressure on both wings. However, the high defense line caused the Ho Chi Minh City University of Industry team to expose gaps behind them, and then they were punished by the opponent with sharp counterattacks.

This is a lesson that Ho Chi Minh City University of Industry must remember if it wants to beat Dong Nai University of Technology in the decisive match this afternoon. The winning team will have a clear chance to advance. On the contrary, the losing team has almost no chance.

With the advantage of experience from winning third place last season, Dong Nai University of Technology has a higher chance of winning.
