Đội này hòa với đội kia.

Đội means team in this sentence. It is commonly used for sports teams, but it can also mean other kinds of organized groups depending on context.

So:

• đội này = this team
• đội kia = that team

Here, hòa means to draw or to tie in a game or match.

So Đội này hòa với đội kia means that neither team won; the result was a tie.

In sports contexts, hòa is very common:

• Hai đội hòa nhau 1-1. = The two teams drew 1–1.

Be aware that hòa can have other meanings in other contexts, such as peaceful, blend, or mix, but in this sentence it clearly means draw/tie.

Với here means with and links the two teams:

• Đội này hòa với đội kia.
• literally: This team drew with that team.

It marks the other participant in the action.

In natural English, we say This team tied with that team or more naturally This team tied that team is not correct, so with makes sense here.

Vietnamese often uses với in this kind of structure:

• nói với = speak to
• gặp với = meet with
• hòa với = draw with

Yes. Hai đội hòa nhau is also very natural and common.

Examples:

• Đội này hòa với đội kia.
• Đội này và đội kia hòa nhau.
• Hai đội hòa nhau.

These all express the idea that the two teams tied.

The version with nhau emphasizes the mutual relationship between the two sides. The version with với is also completely normal.

In Vietnamese, demonstratives usually come after the noun.

So:

• đội này = this team
• đội kia = that team

This is different from English, where this and that come before the noun.

Some common patterns:

• người này = this person
• nhà đó = that house
• cuốn sách kia = that book over there

In your sentence, này refers to the team near the speaker or already being focused on, and kia refers to the other team, often more distant or contrasting.

Both can often be translated as that, but they are not always identical.

• đó often points to something known, identified, or not close to the speaker
• kia often contrasts with this one and can feel more like that one over there / the other one

So in this sentence, đội này ... đội kia is very natural because it creates a neat contrast:

• this team ... that team

You could hear đội đó in some contexts, but đội kia works especially well when comparing two teams.

Yes, this sentence follows very normal Vietnamese word order:

Subject + verb + với + other participant

So:

• Đội này = subject
• hòa = verb
• với đội kia = with that team

Vietnamese does not need an extra verb like is or special endings for tense here.

A very literal breakdown is:

• Đội này = this team
• hòa với = drew with
• đội kia = that team

No. By itself, the sentence does not mark tense.

Vietnamese often leaves time unstated unless it matters or is clear from context. So Đội này hòa với đội kia could mean:

• this team tied with that team
• this team ties with that team
• this team will tie with that team

depending on context.

If you want to make the time clear, you can add time words:

• Hôm qua, đội này hòa với đội kia. = Yesterday, this team tied with that team.
• Trận này, đội này sẽ hòa với đội kia. = In this match, this team will tie with that team.

Hòa is pronounced approximately like hwah or wah, depending on accent, with the huyền tone, which is a low falling tone.

A few pronunciation notes:

• đ is not English d; it sounds more like an unaspirated d
• hòa is one syllable in careful analysis of Vietnamese spelling? Actually it is pronounced as a syllable with a glide, roughly hòa
• the tone on òa is the low falling tone

Also:

• này has the sắc tone, a rising tone
• kia has no tone mark, so it has the ngang tone, level
• đội has the nặng-type diphthong spelling with a falling/glottalized contour depending on dialect

If you are learning pronunciation, it is best to listen to native audio, because tones matter a lot.

No, but this sentence is clearly a sports use.

In sports:

• hòa = draw, tie

In other contexts, hòa can mean things like:

• hòa bình = peace
• hòa vào = blend into
• hòa tan = dissolve

So you should always read it from context. With đội on both sides, the sports meaning is the obvious one.

Yes, it is natural and correct.

A Vietnamese speaker would understand it immediately as a sports result. Depending on style and context, they might also say:

• Hai đội hòa nhau.
• Đội này và đội kia hòa nhau.
• Trận này kết thúc với tỷ số hòa. = The match ended in a draw.

Your original sentence is simple, clear, and perfectly normal.
