Nguyen Xuan Son scored 2 goals against the Thai team.

Before scoring the opening goal, Nam Dinh started the game cautiously, prioritizing the stability of their home field. Bangkok United dominated the first half but did not create any notable opportunities.

However, as soon as Nam Dinh pushed up their formation and scored a goal, the Thai team also accelerated to create an attacking game. Just over 5 minutes after conceding, Bangkok United equalized with a beautiful shot from Luka Adzic.

Individual mistakes caused Nam Dinh Club to lose.

Nam Dinh FC was quickly put at a disadvantage before the end of the first half. The Bangkok United striker easily earned a penalty with a simple turn.

In the second half, Nam Dinh was forced to play offensively. However, the representative of Vietnamese football had difficulty against the very solid defense of Bangkok United.

Before finding the equalizer, Nam Dinh players made another mistake. Nguyen Phong Hong Duy handled the ball carelessly and lost the ball when there were no teammates to cover the home field, creating an opportunity for Bangkok United to counterattack and score.

Nguyen Xuan Son then rekindled hope for the visitors with a successful penalty kick. However, the remaining time was not enough for Nam Dinh FC to equalize. The 2-3 defeat caused the representative of Vietnamese football to lose the top spot in the table.
