Bình Dương beat defending champions Hoàng Anh Gia Lai (HAGL) 4-1 in a penalty shootout in the semi-finals on Thursday.
Faced with a young, fast-moving team, Bình Dương played on the counter-attack and managed to stifle their opponents.
Bình Dương goalie Thanh Tuấn was awarded man of the match for his performance.
The team from the capital beat Viettel 1-0 in the other semi-final.
The event attracted the participation of 18 teams to compete in the annual event. They were divided into four groups and competed in a round robin format. The best seven teams reached the final round alongside hosts Thừa Thiên - Huế.
Last year, HAGL beat Viettel 3-0 in the final held at Bình Dương Stadium to take the title for the first time. — VNS
