The relegation race is becoming more and more fierce as the group of teams stuck at the bottom of the table are trying their best to find points in the final stage of the first leg. While HA.GL ended their slump with a victory at Thanh Hoa Stadium, at Lach Tray Stadium, Hai Phong and Viettel were tied with a 1-1 draw.

Normally, a draw away from home would be a satisfactory result, but for Viettel, it is the opposite. This team is in a period of "thirsty" points, so a draw is no different from a defeat. In this away match, coach Nguyen Duc Thang only used 1 foreign player, midfielder Abdumuminov, behind the striker, young striker Danh Trung. In addition, Hoang Duc, Van Khang, Tien Dung, Duc Chien, Thanh Binh... were also named in the starting lineup.

Viettel had a strong force, but playing away from home and also being wary of the home team Hai Phong, so they started the game quite cautiously. Hai Phong had more possession of the ball in the first half. However, the first dangerous opportunity came from the away team in the 22nd minute when Danh Trung had a close-range shot, but goalkeeper Dinh Trieu made an excellent save.

In the 44th minute, Viettel also opened the score from Danh Trung's pass which was finished by Manh Cuong at close range. But before the first half ended, Hai Phong managed to bring the match back to the starting line. Huu Son's powerful shot near the end of the field, the ball lightly touched the head of defender Bui Tien Dung and became a dangerous ball flying into the goal, leaving goalkeeper The Tai helpless.

In the second half, both sides tried to push up their attacking formation to win, but the lack of luck of the attack did not help either team score more goals. With 1 point in this match, Viettel dropped to the second to last position and anxiously waited for the result of the late match of round 12 on the afternoon of March 3. If Khanh Hoa caused a surprise against Hanoi FC, the army team would fall to the bottom of the table.
