VAR witnessed the Golden and Silver Balls of Vietnam compete: The National Cup was extremely interesting!

Tien Linh, Minh Khoa face Hoang Duc

The earliest match and also the most notable match of the National Cup quarter-finals will take place on the afternoon of March 29, at Binh Duong Stadium, where host Binh Duong will host Ninh Binh Club. Binh Duong currently has very little chance to compete for the V-League championship this season, so they will focus on competing in the National Cup, looking for a title in the 2024-2025 season.

The detail that makes the match between Binh Duong and Ninh Binh noteworthy is that the 2024 Vietnam Golden Ball Nguyen Tien Linh will compete with the Silver Ball Nguyen Hoang Duc. These two players have just coordinated very well with each other in the national team, now they will stand on two fronts to clash with each other.

Like Binh Duong, Ninh Binh Club is hungry for the National Cup, in the context that they have almost no opponents in the 2024-2025 first division. The Hoa Lu ancient capital team wants to evaluate their strength through the match with Binh Duong, how is it compared to the teams in the V-League? After having these assessments, Ninh Binh will have the next investment direction, in case they win the right to play in the V-League next season.

Also in the match between Binh Duong and Ninh Binh, in addition to Tien Linh, Hoang Duc also has to face another talent from Binh Duong, who has also played alongside him in the national team, midfielder Vo Hoang Minh Khoa. Hoang Duc and Minh Khoa will try to control the midfield of the two teams, thereby finding a way to control the match according to the wishes of the team they are playing for. This is a match with VAR.

HAGL in trouble

One day later, the two matches between SLNA and Dong Thap and The Cong Viettel and HAGL will take place at Vinh and My Dinh stadiums. With Dong Thap being the phenomenon of the season, it is unlikely that they will be able to continue their surprise in the National Cup. SLNA's performance at Vinh Stadium is a challenge that is not easy to overcome for the team from the Mekong Delta region. Moreover, Dong Thap Club is quite weak, it is difficult for them to spread their strength in many different arenas (National Cup, First Division). Therefore, it is likely that Dong Thap will not be too determined to stay in the National Cup.

The remaining match between The Cong Viettel and HAGL is quite interesting. HAGL is having difficulties in the V-League, they will take advantage of the match in the quarter-finals of the National Cup to find victory, thereby restoring the spirit of the whole team. Having to play at My Dinh Stadium of The Cong Viettel is not necessarily a disadvantage for the team of Technical Director (GĐKT) Vu Tien Thanh. On the contrary, playing on the opponent's field, of an opponent who is theoretically considered stronger, is also an opportunity for HAGL to deploy their forte of defensive counter-attacking play. This will certainly not be an easy match for the home team The Cong Viettel.

The remaining quarter-final match between Hai Phong Club and Hanoi Police Club (CAHN) will take place much later than the other matches, because CAHN Club still has to perform its duties in the Southeast Asian Cup C1. The match between Hai Phong and CAHN will not take place until April 22 at Lach Tray Stadium.

According to the announcement from VPF and the Organizing Committee of the National Cup, VAR will appear in the match between The Cong Viettel and HAGL. This is a match that is not only highly appreciated in terms of expertise, but also has the appearance of 2 military leaders who often complain about referees, including Coach Nguyen Duc Thang of The Cong Viettel and Technical Director Vu Tien Thanh of HAGL. Therefore, the appearance of VAR will help reduce these controversies.
