Spectators: 8432 (Terracing: 6325, Seating: 1939, VIP seats: 168) The sun was shining, the grass was green and the audience cheered when Nguyễn Tấn Dũng got the match started through his kick off. Nguyễn Phuong fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 16th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Đinh Thi Ngoc having to interfere. 18 minutes into the match, Nguyễn Phuoc dribbled the ball past the defender and swiftly kicked the ball to the left of Đinh Thi Ngoc, 1-0. In the 21st minute the ball was on its way in behind Son Tay's goalkeeper Đinh Thi Ngoc, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. Saigon Kick's Nguyễn Dong managed, thanks to a brazen rush, stole the ball on a throw-in made by Nguyễn Huỳnh in the 22 minute of the game. In the 23rd minute, Nguyễn Phuoc got an opportunity to score, but he didn't get a solid hit on the ball and ended up kicking it wide of the goal. In the 37th minute Nguyễn Phuoc shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Đinh Thi Ngoc saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. All the noise was coming from the home fans when the whistle went for half-time. The home team had fought hardest to put themselves in a deserved lead.

The hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for Nguyễn Phuoc to strike the kick off in the second half. An unexpectedly hard shot by Nguyễn Phuoc in the 53rd minute of play forced Son Tay's goalkeeper Đinh Thi Ngoc to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. 63 minutes into the game, Nguyễn Chi threw the ball into play from the sideline. Son Tay's Lương Hieu Ngan quickly snatched the ball and retained possesion. Nguyễn Chi made in the 64th minute of the game a quick throw-in and Nguyễn Nguyet immediately put the ball in play. If Nguyễn Phuoc had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 67th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. After some fancy dribbling in the 70th minute, Nguyễn Phuoc managed to get in a good position for a shot. Saigon Kick's supporters rose to their feet, but Nguyễn Phuoc was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Đinh Thi Ngoc breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Nguyễn Phuoc's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Đinh Thi Ngoc read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 73rd minute of play. Nguyễn Huỳnh kicked well hit freekick during the 74th minute of the match. After 75 minutes, Lê Hung mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Saigon Kick and the Son Tay players grew even worse after the yellow card. In the 75th minute, Lê Hung hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. The referee blew his whistle, and the match came to a close. The players exchanged shirts and headed down the tunnel. The Saigon Kick fans cheered their team off the field, for while Son Tay had put up a good fight, they were unable to come out of the game with any points to show for their effort.
