Song Lam Nghe An lost to Nam Dinh at the last minute.

In this match, SLNA did not suffer any losses in terms of force, but to create a fresher attack, Coach Quang Truong and the SLNA coaching staff made some changes. Standing in the goal is still goalkeeper Nguyen Van Hoang. Defenders Dinh Dong, Van Khanh, Igor Jelic, Xuan Manh. Midfielders Van Duc, Dinh Chau, Dinh Thang, Xuan Thang and the foreign striker pair Bruno Henrique.

On Nam Dinh side, coach Nguyen Van Sy sent out all 3 foreign players: Rodrigo, Rodrigues and Oussou Konan. The player standing in the goal of the home team in this match was again goalkeeper Dinh Xuan Viet. With the home field advantage, Nam Dinh Club was the one who entered the match more proactively.

However,SLNAalso had a rather dangerous opportunity from Phan Van Duc. Unfortunately, the ball-stealing and lightning-fast shot of the 1996-born player went wide of the post. The home field advantage helped Nam Dinh have spirit and relatively sharp attacks but there were not many accurate shots. Goalkeeper Van Hoang and the SLNA defense continuously had to work hard.

In the 13th minute, from a corner kick, Nam Dinh captain Lam Anh Quang headed the ball dangerously close to the goal, but SLNA's goalkeeper reacted and saved the goal for his team. This was considered the most significant opportunity since the beginning of the match. In the attacks in the 16th and 21st minutes, foreign player Konan and home player Dinh Son continuously had opportunities to shoot the ball but were unsuccessful.

In the following minutes, both teams played quite erratically with continuous situations of losing the ball. The quality of the attacks was not high and no goals were scored. The first half was the time when SLNA's central midfielders were not in their best form. That was the reason why Nam Dinh Club controlled the ball more than the away team.

In the second half, SLNA sent Thai Ba Sang, Mai Sy Hoang and Nguyen Van Viet onto the field in the hope of improving the game. The home team had a series of opportunities to open the score in the first half. A typical example was the one in the 68th minute. From a throw-in on the right wing, the ball was cleared outside the 16m50 line and Doan Thanh Truong swung his leg to make a powerful volley. The ball almost flew into the goal area and Van Hoang was unlikely to be able to block it.

SLNA also had some very strong responses but failed to take advantage of the opportunity. In the 77th minute, SLNA's center back Igor Jelic took a free kick from 20 meters away, sending the ball as hard as a bullet over the wall but could not beat veteran goalkeeper Dinh Xuan Viet.

The double attack was continuously created in the final minutes of the match. Minute 83,Phan Van DucFrom the right wing, he stretched out to cut across Nam Dinh's goal so that Van Viet could rush in from behind to head the ball but could not touch it.

Right in the 90+2 minute of extra time, SLNA received the tragedy of the match. The home team Nam Dinh found a spectacular goal, from a free kick on the left wing, the ball was hung into the 16m50 area and captain Lam Anh Quang chose the right spot to head the ball into Van Hoang's net. The score of 1-0 was maintained until the end of the match.

Match statistics show that Nam Dinh controlled the ball 58% of the match, had only 8 shots and 3 on target. SLNA was worse with 3/5 shots on target. With this result, SLNA still only had 7 points and dropped to 11th place on the rankings. Meanwhile, Nam Dinh climbed to 5th place with 12 points.
