Hanoi Midfielder Nguyen Hoang Duc had a hand in all three goals, helping Viettel crush SLNA 3-0 in round 10 of V-League 2023.
Before this round, Viettel had two more points than SLNA. A win would help one of the two teams improve their position, meaning a chance to enter the top eight teams when the first phase is about to end. With home field advantage, Viettel entered the game strongly. In the first minute, Hoang Duc threatened SLNA's goal. Under pressure from Hoang Duc, goalkeeper Nguyen Van Viet did not clear the ball well. The ball hit the Viettel midfielder's foot before going all the way to the sideline. In the 37th and 38th minutes, Hoang Duc had two chances to shoot but the ball went wide and over the bar.
Viettel did not have to regret for long. In the 39th minute, the midfielder born in 1998 took a free kick on the right wing about 40 meters from the goal. The ball entered the penalty area, creating a mess, and Duc Chien quickly finished to open the score.

In the second half, Viettel coordinated more confidently, while SLNA had to push up their formation to find an equalizer. In the 53rd minute, Hoang Duc observed quickly, passed the ball to Nham Manh Dung to break the offside trap and then passed goalkeeper Van Viet to double the gap. Helpless against the home team's style of play, an SLNA fan lit a flare in the B stand.
Three minutes later, Hoang Duc still exchanged passes with Huu Thang in front of the penalty area and then skillfully handled the ball past Xuan Manh and Mai Sy Hoang. He passed the ball to Huu Thang to finish but was slow, Duong Van Hao was there at the right time to finish close to the goal for the third goal.

Hoang Duc alone almost "tore apart" SLNA's defense. The only efforts of the away team were long-range shots by Mai Sy Hoang and Que Ngoc Hai, but they were inaccurate.
Winning 3-0, Viettel rose to seventh place with 14 points, equal to Ha Tinh but behind due to a lower number of goals (11 compared to 16). Meanwhile, SLNA suffered its second consecutive loss and is now in 11th place with nine points, four points ahead of bottom team Da Nang.
