On the contrary, "neighbor" Song Lam Nghe An is "thirsty for 3 points" to continue to escape from the "red light" group.
Therefore, Song Lam Nghe An is determined to get a positive result to quickly escape the danger zone this season.
And to realize the above goal, coach Phan Nhu Thuat has deployed the strongest lineup. In which, goalkeeper Nguyen Van Viet continues to be the one to guard the goal. The four defenders including Vuong Van Huy, Zaracho, Nam Hai and Tran Dinh Hoang are expected to ensure the solidity of the defense.
In the midfield, Quang Vinh, Khac Ngoc, Ho Van Cuong and Long Vu are assigned the responsibility of regulating the play. In the attack, the Nigerian foreign duo - Olaha and Kuku will be the main spearheads with the task of penetrating the opponent's defense.
However, due to having to play away from home, Song Lam Nghe An entered the match quite cautiously with a defensive counter-attacking strategy. And it was not too surprising that Hong Linh Ha Tinh was the team that had the first chance of the match. In the 2nd minute, from a central attack, the ball was passed to Viktor Le. The player wearing the number 14 shirt made a curling shot that hit a Song Lam Nghe An defender and changed direction, leaving goalkeeper Van Viet helpless, but fortunately the ball went wide of the post.
After the opportunity, the home team continued to put strong pressure on Song Lam Nghe An's goal but were unsuccessful.
However, when Hong Linh Ha Tinh team could not get the ball into the away team's net, from the mistake of the defense, Song Lam Nghe An seized the opportunity and opened the score in the 7th minute. The goal came from Kuku stealing the ball right from the opponent's defender's feet. The striker wearing the number 10 shirt used his speed to run down to face the goalkeeper and kicked the ball into the far corner, defeating goalkeeper Thanh Tung.

Not stopping there, 4 minutes later, from a corner kick, Vu Viet Trieu made a dangerous header, but once again luck was on the side of coach Phan Nhu Thuat's team.

However, the away team maintained the 1-0 result when the first 45 minutes of the match ended.
In the second half, Hong Linh Ha Tinh continued to create a one-sided game like in the first half. In which, the home team implemented many diverse and sharp attacking plans. Notably, in the 54th minute, from a cross to the second post by his teammate, Mbo Noel jumped high to head the ball, but the ball hit Van Viet's crossbar.
Even in the 57th minute, Song Lam Nghe An's net shook after Mbo Noel's close-range header, but after checking VAR, the referee decided that a home team player was offside and did not recognize the goal for Hong Linh Ha Tinh.
In the final minutes of the match, Hong Linh Ha Tinh created great pressure on the away team's field, but with the resilience of coach Phan Nhu Thuat's students, Song Lam Nghe An maintained the overall 1-0 victory.
