However, in the 25th minute, the home team showed their class when they opened the scoring. Captain Van Quyet took the ball and charged straight into the penalty area from the middle, then unleashed a tricky left-footed shot, leaving goalkeeper Van Viet helpless.

After conceding the goal, Song Lam Nghe An decided to push up their formation to find an equalizer. However, Kuku and Olaha still could not score accurately to shake the net of Hanoi FC. The first half ended with a score of 1-0 in favor of the home team.

In the second half, to increase the attacking power, coach Phan Nhu Thuat decided to send Manh Quynh and Long Vu onto the field to replace Van Luong and Xuan Tien.

This helped Song Lam Nghe An play better. However, when they could not convert their chances into goals, the away team continued to concede. From a mistake by the defense, the ball came to Van Quyet's feet. This striker dribbled into the middle and then skillfully lifted the ball over Van Viet's head, raising the score to 2-0 for Hanoi FC.

When they could not find a goal to reduce the score, the away team continued to concede another goal. In the 86th minute, midfielder Hung Dung escaped the opponent's marking and passed the ball to Joao Pedro. This player controlled the ball for a moment before finishing with his left foot into the net of Song Lam Nghe An.

The final score of 3-0 in favor of the home team Hanoi FC was also the result. With this defeat, Song Lam Nghe An continued to rank second to last in the rankings.
