Surely, the memory of last year's defeat made these two players very thirsty for revenge. And it was this pair that played very energetically to help ND TP Vinh dominate ND Nam Dan in the first half. Many dangerous situations were created by the players in blue, but goalkeeper ND Nam Dan played excellently to help the red team keep a clean sheet for 2/3 of the first half.

In the remaining minutes of the match, NĐ Nam Đàn created a few scoring opportunities but the strikers from Uncle Ho's hometown failed to take advantage of them. The most regrettable thing was that from a direct free kick, a NĐ Nam Đàn player kicked the ball against the crossbar, the ball seemed to bounce into the goal but the referees did not consider it a goal.
In the opposite direction, NĐ TP Vinh had 2 more goals, both by number 8 Ho Viet Manh, from a dribble and shot into a tight corner in the 36th minute and a header in the 40th minute.
In the end, Vinh City FC defeated ND with a score of 4-0, winning the third ticket to the semi-finals.
