The Hanoi capital team entered round 21 with high fighting spirit after 2 consecutive wins against LPBank HAGL and Thanh Hoa. These victories brought Van Quyet and his teammates of Hanoi Club to the top. Meanwhile, Quang Nam Club under coach Van Sy Son also had relatively stable performance when winning 3, drawing 1 and losing 1 in the last 5 rounds. At home, Quang Nam won 6 matches, drew 2 and lost only 2 matches.

However, the home team Quang Nam encountered many difficulties against the strong attacks of Van Quyet, Tuan Hai and Tagueu right at the beginning of the match. Creating continuous pressure, Hanoi Club scored the opening goal in the 17th minute. From a beautiful pass by Van Xuan, foreign player Tagueu had a powerful left-footed shot that defeated goalkeeper Van Cong.

In the 42nd minute, Quang Nam Club's goal continued to shake when Hai Long had a very quick counter-attack and created conditions for his teammate Tuan Hai to score, helping the away team from the capital create a 2-goal gap.

Entering the second half, the home team Quang Nam had a chance to shorten the score when Hoang Vu Samson had a chance to face goalkeeper Van Hoang but failed to take advantage of the valuable opportunity in the 58th minute. Unable to score a goal to shorten the score, Quang Nam Club had to "pay the price" immediately after that when Hanoi Club captain Van Quyet turned around and shot accurately with his left foot, causing his former teammate Van Cong to pick the ball out of the net for the third time.

After conceding 3 goals, the home team's morale dropped significantly and they accepted the 0-3 defeat. With this result, Hanoi FC temporarily rose to second place in the 2023-2024 V-League with 33 points, equal to Binh Duong FC but with a better goal difference. Meanwhile, the home defeat left Quang Nam FC in 10th place with 26 points and only 4 points ahead of the relegation play-off team SLNA.
