After more than 20 minutes of cautious play, the away team Hai Phong gradually regained control of the game to create some good opportunities in front of the opponent's goal, unfortunately the shots of Antonio and Huu Nam were not successful.

In the second half, Hanoi Police Club continued to play aggressively but the home team was unlucky when Leo Artur's shot right outside the penalty area in the 50th minute was still blocked by goalkeeper Dinh Trieu, hitting the crossbar and bouncing out. Dinh Bac's follow-up shot was still not able to beat the goalkeeper born in 1991.

However, just 4 minutes later, midfielder Quang Hai opened the scoring for the home team. From Leo Artur's dribble in front of the penalty area, Quang Hai quickly kicked the ball, hitting the post and going straight into the away team's net.
