Despite losing heavily in the first leg, V.NB did not give up. On the contrary, Mr. Nguyen Van Sy's team entered the battle with the determination to win. It was this winning spirit that helped the away team play coherently and smoothly.

V.NB took the initiative and created many scoring opportunities in the first half. However, it was not until the 28th minute that Suleiman broke the tie after a tap-in when before that, Kitchee's goalkeeper and the goalpost had twice consecutively denied two shots from Van Thang and Duc Linh. If they had finished better, V.NB could have scored two more goals in the first 45 minutes. However, Suleiman failed to win in both times facing goalkeeper Wang Zhenpeng.

In the second half, Kitchee regained control of the game and created quite a storm towards Buu Ngoc's goal. However, the alertness and tight marking of the V.NB defenders sometimes pushed Kitchee into a deadlock.

It must also be admitted that Buu Ngoc had an excellent match when playing calmly, typically the moment he jumped up to push the ball with his fingertips after a quite technical long-range lob from Ngan Lok Fung in the 71st minute. In the 83rd minute, the crossbar saved V.NB once after a powerful shot from Paramo.

Winning the second leg with a score of 1-0, V.NB still had to accept a 3-4 defeat after 2 matches, so they stopped at the quarter-finals. However, it is also necessary to praise that this was a match with great effort for the honor of coach Nguyen Van Sy and his team before saying goodbye to the AFC Cup.
