Facing the not-so-highly rated Ho Chi Minh City team, Nam Dinh Club of coach Vu Hong Viet with quality stars is expected to continue to win to maintain the top position. Although coach Vu Tien Thanh's team is also having a very good start with 1 win and 1 draw, but looking at the current squad, this will be a difficult first away trip for the team of the city named after Uncle Ho.
Home team Nam Dinh played overwhelmingly compared to away team Ho Chi Minh City.
As predicted, the home team Nam Dinh completely dominated the game when Ho Chi Minh City Club mainly played defensive counter-attacks. However, the surprise came at Thien Truong Stadium when Nguyen Thanh Thao scored a goal from an extremely tricky free kick to beat goalkeeper Nguyen Manh in the 16th minute. After the unexpected goal, the home team attacked more strongly but Rafaelson, Hendrio and Van Toan could not defeat goalkeeper Patrik Le Giang.

After the break, coach Vu Hong Viet's team continued to attack, forcing the visitors into a defensive position. In the 51st minute, from Van Toan's pass into the penalty area, the ball reached Hendrio's feet and the Brazilian foreign player accurately shot with his left foot to equalize for the visitors.
Hendrio scored twice for Nam Dinh FC to keep the top spot.
Not long after that, Hendrio himself was fouled by a defender of Ho Chi Minh City Club in the penalty area and referee Nguyen Manh Hai, after reviewing VAR, awarded the home team a penalty. It was Hendrio who successfully took the 11m kick and helped the home team Nam Dinh take the lead in the 63rd minute. It seemed that the away team Ho Chi Minh City would have an equalizer just 2 minutes later when Ho Tuan Tai regretfully took a free kick that hit the crossbar.

Coach Vu Tien Thanh and his team's efforts to equalize were unsuccessful and they accepted defeat with a score of 1-2. This defeat caused Ho Chi Minh City FC to lose the opportunity to temporarily rise to the top of the V-League rankings after a very long time. Meanwhile, the successful comeback helped the team from Thanh Nam continue to lead the table with 3 wins in a row.
