A few minutes after the opening whistle, Nguyen Hoang Long – Captain of ND Con Cuong was the player who quickly put his team in the lead from a lightning attack. If he had been luckier, Hoang Long would have scored another goal from a shot that went just wide of the crossbar.
Conceding a goal early, NĐ Quỳ Châu rose up to attack in search of an equalizer, but the young players in blue shirts showed signs of impatience right from the midfield. Meanwhile, NĐ Con Cuong's defense was very tightly organized, blocking the path to Le Viet Vuong's goal.
The most significant opportunity that NĐ Quỳ Châu created towards NĐ Con Cuong's goal was a kick-off that found the post of goalkeeper Đinh Quang Duy. The two teams entered the break with the score temporarily 1-0 in favor of NĐ Con Cuong.
In the second half, after a series of efforts, ND Quy Chau was rewarded. In the 29th minute, Ho Trong Trung rushed from the back line and fired a powerful shot to level the score at 1-1 for ND Quy Chau. The goal made the match much more dramatic and exciting. The two teams played tit for tat, especially goalkeeper Dinh Quang Duy on the side of ND Quy Chau, who had to continuously play aggressively and show off his talent to save the home team.
