Dương Thai was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it.

Nguyễn Thi Ngoc charged in rather forcefully in the 61st minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Nguyễn Thi Ngoc the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. Nguyễn Thi Ngoc kicked well hit freekick during the 62nd minute of the match. In the 66th minute La Khoi shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Tôn Thanh saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Đỗ Dung blasted a shot towards the goal in the 69th minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Dương Thai having to make a save.

Đỗ Dung struck a weak shot in the 87th minute. Dương Thai didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Thai Nguyen.

Thai Nguyen's fans were overjoyed with their teams well-earned victory and stayed in the stadium long after the final whistle to celebrate the win.
