Tam Ky's Tôn Lan proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 3rd minute of the match, managed to save Tam Ky from getting a goal against them. Trần Hong received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 8th minute. Tôn Lan tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Nguyễn Lam fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 10th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Tôn Lan having to interfere. La Lutte⭐☭'s Trần Lam played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Lê Than in the 28th minute of play. Tam Ky's Lê Than got a good chance for a goal in the 30th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. 45 minutes into the match, La Lutte⭐☭'s goal looked a bit too open when Hồ Thai came free, but Trần Lam reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. The supporters of Tam Ky booed when La Lutte⭐☭ was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 46 match minutes in a wonderful position. Trịnh Nghiêm-Minh didn't get a good kick on the ball. Trần Lam took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Hồ Thai, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Trần Hong to make the kick off. Đào Phong tried to clear up in front of the goal, but didn't succeed and rather the ball rolled into the own goal to the right of a despaired Tôn Lan. An unnecessary self made goal, 1-0 in the 51st minute. The supporters of Tam Ky booed when La Lutte⭐☭ was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 56 match minutes in a wonderful position.

Trần Lam made an important save on a dangerous shot by Lê Than in the 63rd minute. After a defensive mix-up in La Lutte⭐☭'s zone, Hồ Thai stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Trần Lam came out of the goal and Hồ Thai tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Trần Hong sent away a hard shot on goal in the 74th minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal.
