The ball bounced to Le Quang Huy's feet, this player dribbled the ball for another beat facing ND Tan Ky's goalkeeper. Le Quang Huy's decisive shot scored, putting Do Luong ahead 1-0 in the first half.

Meanwhile, ND Do Luong remained loyal to their tight defense and quick counterattack style of play, playing with more and more confidence.
