Seemingly confident after the positive result in the opening match, the players from the Phu Quy highlands rushed to attack right after the opening whistle. The first opportunity belonged to number 8 Hoang Tuan Phong when this player read the ball from goalkeeper Hoang Kien Hung of Nhi Dong Cua Lo and shot hard from close range. However, this shot was promptly blocked by the goalkeeper of the team from the coastal town.

Excited after this situation, Quy Chau players continued to put intense pressure on Nhi Dong Cua Lo's goal. Number 9 Lo Nguyen Quang Dang and number 10 Lu Anh Khoi each had several scoring opportunities, but their shots were not dangerous enough to beat goalkeeper Hoang Kien Hung.
On the other hand, the players of Nhi Dong Cua Lo tried their best but could not get close to Nhi Dong Quy Chau's goal. The long-range shots of the players from the coastal town were also inaccurate.
The first half ended without any goals being scored.
In the second half, Quy Chau Children's Football Club still maintained significant pressure on the field of Cua Lo Children's Football Club. And then the opening goal came in the 24th minute. After a shot by a Quy Chau Children's Football Club player, goalkeeper Hoang Kien Hung of Cua Lo Children's Football Club pushed the ball out. But the ball bounced back to the foot of number 11 Vi Kien Hung of the coastal town team and went into the net.

After these two consecutive goals, the speed of the match was pushed higher. With the advantage in both physique and physical strength, Nhi Dong Quy Chau held the ball and shot more, but the shots of the highland team still lacked the sharpness to create goals. Many times, the fans from Quy Chau had to hold their heads in regret after the missed shots of the white-shirted players.
