This is the match that Ho Chi Minh City FC has to play away at Pleiku Stadium. Hoang Anh Gia Lai, despite their inconsistent performance, rarely loses when playing at home.
However, in this confrontation, coach Kiatisuk's team showed ineffectiveness. In the first minutes, Hoang Anh Gia Lai put pressure and created opportunities but Diatkite and Washinton Brandao both missed.
But the biggest disappointment was Minh Vuong. In the 21st minute, he had a huge space in the penalty area of Ho Chi Minh City Club but hit the crossbar. The striker wearing the number 8 shirt also handled the ball poorly many times, causing opportunities to pass.
Meanwhile, Ho Chi Minh City FC also showed their determination to get points to stay in the league. Although they did not have much possession, their attacks were always dangerous. One of them helped the visitors open the score in the 31st minute.
From outside the penalty area, veteran Hoang Vu Samson unleashed a powerful shot. The ball went hard into the near corner, and goalkeeper Trung Kien, despite diving, was unable to save the goal.
After the opening goal, Ho Chi Minh City FC played more enthusiastically. They continued to have opportunities but could not take advantage.
In the second half, the away team still had more good chances. In the 48th minute, Hoang Vu Samson almost scored a double when the goal was wide open. However, a Hoang Anh Gia Lai player managed to retreat and clear the ball.
In the 73rd minute, the striker of Ho Chi Minh City Club had another chance but his kick was inaccurate.
Unable to take advantage of the opportunity, the away team still secured a 1-0 victory over Hoang Anh Gia Lai. This result helped Ho Chi Minh City FC gain 14 points. They ranked 5th out of 6 teams in the relegation group, 3 points ahead of bottom team Da Nang.
With this ranking, Ho Chi Minh City FC has more than 90% chance of staying in V-League next season. The relegation group now has only 1 round left. As long as they do not lose to Binh Duong in this round, Ho Chi Minh City FC will stay in the league.
