Although rated higher when climbing to the top 3 on the rankings and competing for second place, Binh Dinh Club unexpectedly "fell off the horse" at Vinh Stadium against SLNA, who were having difficulty with their squad. SLNA played more aggressively than their opponents and unfortunately for the away team, captain and goalkeeper Van Lam was injured and had to leave the field in the 37th minute.

Speaking after the match, coach Bui Doan Quang Huy of Binh Dinh Club assessed that SLNA played better than his players in this match. "I would like to congratulate SLNA for playing with great spirit. Playing at home and the youth helped SLNA win more easily than us. I have no complaints about my players even though this result was not as expected. After this match, we know we need to improve more," said Mr. Huy.

However, goalkeeper Van Lam's injury has affected the outcome of the match. Mr. Huy said that the doctor has not yet given any recommendations so the severity of Van Lam's injury has not been assessed. "Van Lam's injury is unfortunate. In football, injuries are normal," Mr. Huy said.

Meanwhile, coach Phan Nhu Thuat was very pleased with the performance of the young SLNA players. The opening match at Vinh Stadium had quite a large audience cheering. "I am very grateful to the fans for accompanying us. What I was most pleased with in this match was that the players played with great spirit, solidarity and confidence. We always want to create opportunities for young players so that they can mature soon," said Mr. Thuat.
In this match, the captaincy of SLNA was given to foreign player Olaha. "Olaha is a good player, has played for many years, has a lot of experience and has been with SLNA for a long time, so I have a lot of trust in him. Although Olaha did not score in this match, he played very well," Mr. Thuat shared.
Although he was brought back to the squad after a series of "suspension" matches, Dinh Xuan Tien did not enter the field in this match. Mr. Thuat explained: "We left Xuan Tien on the bench and planned to put him in the second half, but when we scored, the tactics also changed."
