Entering the match, SLNA, with the mentality of a team in the TOP, easily controlled the game. However, the defense system could not help goalkeeper Van Hoang's goal stand firm for long. Nam Dinh fans at Thien Truong created a terrible pressure on the legs of SLNA's young players.
In the 10th minute, from a simple attack on the sidelines, Manh Hung brought the ball into the penalty area. In a comfortable position, foreign player Tony Agbaji chose the right position, headed the ball dangerously to open the score for Nam Dinh, Thien Truong stadium exploded after this goal.
Having scored first, the home team played brilliantly and created consecutive chances while the away team's attack continuously left disappointment. In the 28th minute, striker Peter Samuel received a yellow card when his fall in the penalty area was determined by the referee to be a diving incident.

Conceding an early goal, the Nghe An team played quite awkwardly under pressure from their own half and from the stands. Captain Do Merlo, despite his age, still made SLNA's defense struggle to intercept.
At the end of the first half, the home team Nam Dinh was almost in control of the game. The legs of the young players from Nghe An seemed to be stiff under the mental pressure from tens of thousands of Thanh Nam spectators at Thien Truong Stadium.
After the break, the away team SLNA actively pushed up their formation to find an equalizer. In the 49th minute, midfielder Dinh Tien escaped to face goalkeeper Xuan Viet, but the young midfielder from Nghe An hit the post with his shot.

Being behind, SLNA had to push up their formation to find an equalizer, but the spiritless defense of the Nghe An team did not ensure peace of mind for the forward players. Do Merlo continuously had opportunities to double the gap for the home team, after an offside situation in the 68th minute, just a few minutes later, the former SHB Da Nang striker easily scored a goal for himself.
With a relaxed spirit, the home team at Thien Truong Stadium continuously put pressure on SLNA's field and what had to happen happened. Do Merlo scored a double in just 3 minutes to help Nam Dinh raise the score to 3-0 when the away team's spirit had seriously declined.
Previously, referee Nguyen Viet Duan had been lenient with Nam Dinh in a situation where Dinh Chau was fouled in front of the penalty area and SLNA received a counterattack.

Although he put on the field players who could put pressure on the opponent's defense, compared to the home team Nam Dinh, coach Ngo Quang Truong could not help but be disappointed with the foreign players he had. SLNA's forward players were almost paralyzed in front of the home team's solid defense with a lot of fighting spirit.
The 4 minutes of extra time were not enough for the Nghe An team to turn the game around. SLNA’s attacks also failed to create opportunities for coach Ngo Quang Truong’s team to score a consolation goal. In the end, SLNA lost 0-3, the second time in a row that SLNA’s defense conceded a heavy goal.
