Next HAGL,Hong Linh Ha TinhThe team actively retreated to play defensively, waiting for opportunities from counter-attacks. The away team HAGL thus had the opportunity to gain more control of the ball. However, HAGL's attacks were not sharp enough to overcome the opponent's deeply organized defense system.

Van Toan's efforts were not enough to help HAGL win all 3 points against Hong Linh Ha Tinh.

HAGL's attacking stars such as Cong Phuong, Van Toan and Luong Xuan Truong were all closely marked. Despite playing very energetically, Van Toan could not be effective without support from the back line.

During the entire first half, the two teams did not create any truly dangerous opportunities. It was not until the 62nd minute,HAGLhad the most significant chance with Hong Duy's dribbling and shot from the left wing. However, goalkeeper Quang Tuan of HL Ha Tinh was able to jump up and block the shot.

In their rush to attack, HAGL almost paid the price when Chevaugh Walsh got the ball due to a mistake by center back Kim Dong Su, passed it to Akinade to run down and shoot into the near corner, but luckily goalkeeper Tuan Linh closed the angle in time to push it away. The match ended with a score of 0-0.

With this result, Hong Linh Ha Tinh got their first point after 4 rounds. HAGL meanwhile only got 7 points, missing the chance to take the top spot from SHB Da Nang.

Lee Nguyen does not admit that he is the best in Ho Chi Minh City.

MidfielderLee Nguyenfrankly said that goalkeeper Thanh Thang was the best player of Ho Chi Minh City in the extremely valuable 1-0 victory over Saigon FC in the last round.

Finally, after much waiting, midfielder Lee Nguyen scored his first goal for Ho Chi Minh City after 4 matches. Although Lee Nguyen's goal was scored from the 11m penalty spot, it was a very tense moment of the match, to the point that coach Polking did not dare to watch his student take the shot.

Lee Nguyen's goal brought a valuable victory to Ho Chi Minh City and, more importantly, relieved a lot of pressure for coach Polking. "I'm very happy to have scored the first goal for Ho Chi Minh City. The team faced a very tough opponent, Saigon FC, but in the end, Ho Chi Minh City still won," Lee Nguyen said after the match.

“In Ho Chi Minh City there are many good players but I am not the best. The match withSaigon FC, goalkeeper Thanh Thang was the best player. He successfully blocked a penalty and that gave his teammates great motivation and excitement so that in the end we were the ones to win", Lee Nguyen shared.

Lee Nguyen is considered the brightest star of Ho Chi Minh City, but in attack, the foreign players have not shown any difference in skill level, so the 35-year-old midfielder has not been able to show his strengths with sharp passing moves.
