As usual, in the continental arena, Nam Dinh team gives maximum priority to foreign players. The team from Thanh Nam used up to 8 foreign players in the starting lineup, only using 3 domestic players including defender Van Kien, midfielder Hoang Anh and Ti Phong.

Despite using mostly foreign players, Nam Dinh was still no match for the Japanese team. In the 16th minute, Yamashita broke through Nam Dinh's defenders before passing the ball to Rin Mito. Rin Mito then finished accurately, scoring a goal to help Gamba Osaka lead 1-0.

In the second half, Gamba Osaka continued to attack continuously, putting pressure on Nam Dinh's field. In the 52nd minute, the gap was doubled for the home team.

It was not until the 4th minute of injury time of the second half that the defending V-League champions got an honorary goal, scored by foreign player Kyle Hudlin. However, this goal could not help Nam Dinh avoid a 1-3 defeat on the opponent's field.
