In that match, if there was no foul situation that caused Viettel to concede a penalty, Nguyen Manh would have had a perfect match with some amazing saves. However, the performance of players like Khac Ngoc, Trong Hoang, Ngoc Hai was enough to score points with coach Park Hang-seo sitting in the stands of Hang Day Stadium.
