Due to the small number of players, the Vietnamese reporters had to borrow two foreign players from the opposing team. Both played very enthusiastically, even attacking midfielder Majid Abdul contributed a clever backheel pass, allowing reporter Hai Nam of Sports 247 to place the ball neatly, scoring the only goal of the match.

The match was very dramatic. Thanks to the home field advantage and a more even squad quality, the Indonesian reporters played proactively, actively pressing, determined not to give the visitors space to play. However, the Vietnamese reporters also had smart tactics to counter. With a 4-5-1 formation and 3 central midfielders, the visitors did not let the opponent freely deploy in the middle.

They were forced to make many long passes. This plan was ineffective because the defenders of the Vietnamese reporter team were very alert to the offside trap. When they did not create any significant opportunities, the Indonesian reporter team accepted the 0-1 defeat right at home. However, the other team was very happy and excited when interacting with the Vietnamese reporters. Both teams received a lot of laughter. This match only lasted one half because the players on both sides were busy covering the training sessions of the Indonesian and Vietnamese teams. Therefore, the two teams scheduled the return match in Hanoi. This match is expected to take place on March 25, when the reporters will cover the return match between the Vietnamese and Indonesian teams.
