Determined to win the first Super Cup in history, Nam Dinh pushed up their formation from the start of the match and created many attacks towards goalkeeper Xuan Hoang’s goal (Thanh Hoa). But in the first 45 minutes, they could not penetrate the opponent’s solid defense.

Meanwhile, Thanh Hoa, with their defensive counter-attacking style of play, caused a lot of trouble for Nam Dinh's defense. In the 34th minute, Thanh Hoa had a dangerous attack and striker Rimario fell in Nam Dinh's penalty area. But after checking VAR, the referee refused to award Thanh Hoa a penalty.

In the second half, Nam Dinh increased their attack speed and they opened the score in the 51st minute. From a quick attack, Rafaelson skillfully dribbled past Thanh Hoa defenders and then shot but was blocked by goalkeeper Xuan Hoang. However, Rafaelson rushed in to head the ball to open the score 1-0 for Nam Dinh.

Exactly 3 minutes later, striker Rimario (Thanh Hoa) headed the ball into Nam Dinh's net but the referee did not recognize it because of an offside error. In the 65th minute, from Van Vi's pass, Van Cong easily kicked the ball into the empty net, raising the score to 2-0 for Nam Dinh.

In the 71st minute, Nam Dinh had a very dangerous counter-attack and Rafaelson scored again against Thanh Hoa. But the referee disallowed the goal. However, after checking VAR, the referee recognized Rafaelson's goal and 3-0 for Nam Dinh.

By the 74th minute, Thanh Hoa had only 10 men left on the field when defender Gustavo (Thanh Hoa) received a red card for reacting too violently to the referee.
