Hoang Anh Gia Lai lost on the debut day of coach Vu Tien Thanh

The match between HL Ha Tinh and HAGL is considered the "reverse final" of V-League 2023-2024, because this is a match that affects the relegation ticket of the current season.

Ha Tinh was the first team to speak up in this match. In the 7th minute, midfielder Nguyen Trung Hoc of the home team shot very hard, but goalkeeper Phan Dinh Vu Hai of HAGL successfully blocked it.

Then, the mountain town team had an answer. In the 19th minute, HAGL foreign player Jon Cley passed the ball to young striker Quoc Viet who headed the ball into the crossbar of Ha Tinh Club's goal.

In the following minutes, Ha Tinh took advantage of their home field advantage to attack quite strongly, but in an excellent day of play, goalkeeper Phan Dinh Vu Hai of HAGL saved the team of coach Vu Tien Thanh many times.

Even when goalkeeper Vu Hai was helpless, after Bui Van Duc's shot from Ha Tinh in the 41st minute, defender Jairo Rodrigues Filho still cleared the ball to save Mr. Duc's team.

In the second half, Ha Tinh continued to attack, as they did not want to share points at home. In the 69th minute, midfielder Tran Phi Son, who used to play for the national team, made a dangerous shot, but once again goalkeeper Vu Hai made an excellent save for HAGL.

Although they did not concede any goals in the above situations, HAGL could not stand firm against Ha Tinh's pressure forever.

In the 71st minute, Ha Tinh had a very methodical arrangement. Phi Son passed to Quang Nam, Quang Nam headed the ball to Dinh Tien so that Dinh Tien could tap the ball into the net from close range, scoring the winning goal 1-0 for Ha Tinh.
