HANOI (19 May 2012) – Le Thi Hoai Thu’s second-half goal did not only gave Vietnam Coal and Minerals a crucial win over their nearest rivals Ha Noi Trang An 1 but has also propelled them to the top of the standings in the Vietnam Women’s Football Championship 2012.
The top of the table clash in the second round of the Women’s League saw Ha Noi Trang An 1 losing their grip of the leaderboard as Vietnam Coal wrested control with 13 points.
