With home advantage, Hai Phong FC entered the match determined to find a victory to realize their goal of staying in the league. Right from the first minutes, the port city team threatened Song Lam Nghe An's goal with shots that hit goalkeeper Nguyen Van Viet's goal.

Song Lam Nghe An played defensive counter-attacks and had a few dangerous chances towards Nguyen Dinh Trieu's goal. However, after the 30th minute, the away team gave up the game to Hai Phong to play defensively.

With a ball possession rate of up to 61.9%, Hai Phong almost completely dominated Song Lam Nghe An. Coach Chu Dinh Nghiem's ​​students made a total of 24 shots (with feet and head), 4 times more than their opponents (6 times).

Of these, Hai Phong had 7 shots on target, but not one was successful. The 7 clear-cut chances of the port city team were either blocked by the Song Lam Nghe An goalkeeper, or hit the crossbar and the goalpost.

On an unlucky day, Hai Phong's expected foreign strikers, Lucao do Break and Fred Friday, missed seemingly golden opportunities. 0-0 was the final result of the match.

After the match, Hai Phong midfielder Trieu Viet Hung admitted that his team was weak. He shared: "We created many opportunities against an opponent who played a focused defense, but our finishing was poor and we were also unlucky."

This result does not change the rankings of the two clubs on the V-League table. Hai Phong is still in 7th place, while Song Lam Nghe An is in 12th place out of 14 teams.
