Gaston and Philani thrilled the 10,000 fans who attended the match with a riveting end.

The Argentine strike Gaston netted the ball in the 87th minute, but Philani pulled back a goal and tied the game at 3-3.

In the penalty shoot-out, goalie Tran Duc Cuong saved three spot kicks from Binh Duong to take Da Nang to the final.

Da Nang will meet Song Lam Nghe An, who beat The Cong 4-1 in the other semi-final at Ha Noi’s Hang Day Stadium yesterday, at the final on August 29.

The central city team hopes to win two titles this year - the premiership, V-League and the National Cup - for the first time in the team’s history.

In the past five years, two-time V-League champs Dong Tam Long An have twice won both the V-League and the National Cup.

The Cup, funded by Vissai Cement, drew 27 teams from the premier V-League and the First Division competing in a single-elimination format for a cash-prize of VND250,000 million (US$14,700).

The Cup winner will be eligible to take part in the Asian Football Confederation’s Cup next year.

Last year, Ha Noi ACB lifted the Cup after beating Binh Duong 1-0.
