After being held to a draw by the away team at Vinh Stadium, SLNA players arrived in Indonesia with a serious shortage of players as key players such as Van Duc, Xuan Manh, and Que Ngoc Hai were all kept at home, preparing for round 2 of the V-League.
Meanwhile, Persija Jakarta had a huge advantage on home ground. However, the strong Indonesian team could not overcome SLNA's squad which included many reserve players.
SLNA's idea of holding the score was ruined by a goal in the third minute of extra time by substitute Addison Alves, helping the home team Persija Jakarta win 1-0 against SLNA.
