HCM CITY — With a 3-0 victory over Phong Phú Hà Nam in the final round of the 2020 Women's Championships on Sunday, HCM City I FC became the champion with an unbeaten record for the season.

Winning the championship in the penultimate round before this match was an opportunity for coach Đoàn Thị Kim Chi of HCM City I FC to choose reserve players for the starting-11 of the match against Phong Phú Hà Nam.  

The players of HCM City I were determined to win the last match to defend their unbeaten record. The home team played attacking football from the beginning of the match and had some huge chances to get the goal in the first half.

In the ninth minute, Thùy Trang received the ball after the corner kick. She took a powerful shot but it went off the crossbar.

The rest of the first half, players of HCM City I continued to control the game and created many opportunities to score an opening goal. However, they could not kick the ball into the opponent's net in the first half.

The host players continued to attack in the second half. In the first 51 minutes, the efforts of the home team paid off.

Thùy Trang's shot from outside the box in the 51st minute was not too strong, but Hải Yến, goalkeeper of Phong Phú Hà Nam, did not handle it neatly and created a great chance for Hùynh Như to easily open the score.

After the opening goal, the host played better. In the 73rd minute, from the left wing, striker Hoài Lương made a chip shot to help the team lead with two goals.

Before the match ended, HCM City I FC scored one more goal thanks to Bích Thùy.

With this victory, the home team finished the 2020 season with 40 points in total.  The team had successfully protected its unbeaten record for the season with 13 wins and 1 draw. VNS
