Trung Kien - March 1, 2020 18:42
(Baonghean.vn) - In the 2020 National Super Cup match, Cong Phuong helped Ho Chi Minh City FC take the lead with a beautiful goal. However, the bravery of Hanoi FC and the lack of confidence of goalkeeper Bui Tien Dung caused coach Chung Hae-seong's team to lose regretfully.
Just 6 minutes after the match started, Hanoi FC had to make an unexpected substitution after Duy Manh was injured, with defender Bui Hoang Viet Anh coming in as his replacement. With this advantage, Ho Chi Minh City FC were the ones who started the match better.
In the 10th minute, Phi Son confidently dribbled into the middle and fired a low shot, fortunately for Hanoi, center back Thanh Chung was able to clear the danger. Just 1 minute later, a close-range header from 1m94 player Pape Diakite almost forced goalkeeper Van Cong to pick the ball out of the net.

Immediately after that, Hanoi FC had an answer in the 23rd minute, Pape Omar fired a very decisive shot. Unfortunately, the ball went over the bar, causing Hanoi FC's chance to pass. However, right after Phi Son's missed opportunity, Hanoi FC scored an equalizer in the 23rd minute.

In the 31st minute, captain Van Quyet sent a cross pass inside, Hung Dung's somewhat lucky shot caused the Ho Chi Minh City defender to score an own goal, bringing the equalizer for the 2019 V.League champions.
At the end of the first half, Ho Chi Minh City FC paid a heavy price for the lack of confidence of goalkeeper Bui Tien Dung. Hung Dung's decisive shot made the goalkeeper unable to catch the ball. And Pape Omar immediately swooped in to successfully score the rebound, putting Hanoi FC ahead 2-1.

In the final minutes of the match, Ho Chi Minh City was tirelessly searching for an equalizer. However, the team's attack was still not as effective as expected. The match ended with victory for the reigning V.League champions. Hanoi FC became the team that won the 2020 National Super Cup.
