Having scored a goal to reduce the score, the team of coach Minh Phuong was even more excited, and then in the 81st minute, the equalizer 2-2 came to the away team. Starting from a shot by a player from Ba Ria Vung Tau, goalkeeper Tan Truong punched the ball out poorly and immediately, Phuong Thinh was there to shoot into the home team's net.
It seemed like the match would end in a 2-2 draw, but Binh Phuoc FC's mettle paid off. In the 90+7 minute, Le Thanh Binh fired a shot from the edge of the penalty area, the ball went straight into Ba Ria Vung Tau's net, sealing an emotional 3-2 victory for the home team.
