In the 51st minute, Dang Anh Tuan, a player from SHB Da Nang, shot from afar, the ball went hard but could not beat SLNA's goalkeeper. Just one minute later, a surprise pass from Van Binh put striker Jeremine Lynch in a relatively comfortable position, but his shot missed the post.
In the 56th minute, the opportunity continued to come to SLNA. Le The Cuong broke straight into the middle and fired an extremely dangerous long-range shot towards SHB Da Nang's goal. Unfortunately, his shot could not defeat the excellent goalie Thanh Binh. Ho Khac Ngoc and Jeremine Lynch continued to create a good combination of passes in the penalty area, in a face-to-face situation but SLNA's foreign striker was still wasteful, the score was still 2-0 in favor of SLNA.
In the 60th minute, for the third time in the match, goalkeeper Vu Hai's reflexes were so amazing that he denied Dang Anh Tuan's shot in the penalty area.
After making consecutive substitutions, SHB Da Nang improved their game somewhat. The next dangerous opportunity created by the away team was a long-range shot by substitute Ho Ngoc Thang in the 74th minute. The ball went in an extremely uncomfortable trajectory, over the head of goalkeeper Vu Hai but hit the post and flew out.
