Rated higher and playing at home, The Cong - Viettel Club surprisingly let Quang Nam score first. In the 16th minute, taking advantage of the opportunity when goalkeeper Pham Van Phong was up, Charles Atshimine scored from a very lucky long-range shot.

After conceding the goal, coach Nguyen Duc Thang's team controlled the game and gradually put pressure on their opponents. However, the army team also needed luck to equalize. In the 36th minute, in a chaotic situation in front of Quang Nam's goal, Pedro seized the opportunity to level the score 1-1 for The Cong - Viettel.

At the end of the first half, Quang Nam surprised everyone when they once again took the lead after Hoang Vu Samson's personal mark. The naturalized Nigerian striker had a beautiful volley in the 43rd minute, raising the score to 2-1.

After the break, The Cong - Viettel Club made a few personnel changes and one of them repaid the coaching staff's trust. In the 72nd minute, Nguyen Huu Thang scored a superb goal from a shot near the midfield area, bringing the match back to the starting line.

However, the army team could not take advantage of the rising spirit to score more goals, because Quang Nam Club played defensively in the remaining time to earn 1 point to return home.

This result caused The Cong - Viettel Club (29 points) to lose second place to Hanoi, who had just won against Thanh Hoa in the same match at Hang Day Stadium and had 30 points. Nam Dinh continued to maintain the top position with a 2-0 victory over Hai Phong and had 34 points. Quang Nam temporarily dropped to 10th place with 20 points.

In the next round, The Cong - Viettel will visit Ha Tinh, while Quang Nam will welcome Binh Dinh at home.
