Spectators: 5000 (Terracing: 4000,
Seating: 1000, VIP seats: 0) La Chung was extremely unlucky when he, in the 3rd minute, took a shot that hit the right post and went out. La Chung might have been able to make a better finish in the 6th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Lưu Duong. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. La Chung ran back to his position shaking his head. Phùng Hoai's late challenge caught a Tuy Hoa's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Phùng Hoai helped the player get up and apologised. Hoàng Hoang fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 9th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Lê Huỳnh having to interfere. If Nguyễn Mai had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 11th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. When La Chung came up free with the goalie in the 13th minute, the Hanoi fans jumped to their feet. But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that La Chung couldn't finish the play. Hanoi's Nguyễn Ritchell pulled a muscle in his leg after 16 minutes and couldn't finish the game. After 16 minutes, Nguyễn Viet mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Tuy Hoa and the Hanoi players grew even worse after the yellow card. After 17 played minutes Tuy Hoa got a freekick which was hit by Nguyễn Viet. Lưu Duong was in exellent shape and made a fantastic save when he, in the 18th minute of the match, managed to get hold of the ball after a long shot from Trịnh Phuong. After some fancy dribbling in the 22nd minute, Hoàng Hoang managed to get in a good position for a shot. Tuy Hoa's supporters rose to their feet, but Hoàng Hoang was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Lê Huỳnh breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. 24 minutes into the match, Hanoi's goal looked a bit too open when Hoàng Hoang came free, but Lê Huỳnh reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Nguyễn Mai fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 24th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Lê Huỳnh having to interfere. After a rather tough play, Tuy Hoa's Nguyễn Nam got a free kick in the 30th minute. With a little luck, Tuy Hoa's Lưu Duong got control of the ball when La Chung tried to sneak it across the goal line. 36 minutes into the match, Hoàng Hoang had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Lê Huỳnh. Hanoi's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Hoàng Hoang was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 0-1. Phùng Hoais short, quick shot in the 39thth minute got Lưu Duong to make great effort and bar the ball away from getting in. Nguyễn Mai fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 42nd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Lê Huỳnh having to interfere. Disappointed in the 0-1 score, the home team went to the dressing room to adjust tactics for the second half.
The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Hoàng Hoang stepped up to make the kick off in the second half. If La Chung had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 51st minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Đỗ Huỳnh sent away a hard shot on goal in the 52nd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. In the 56th minute, Nguyễn Mai 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. La Chung fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 61st minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Lưu Duong having to interfere. After 65 minutes, Phạm Binh mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Tuy Hoa and the Hanoi players grew even worse after the yellow card. After a rather tough play, Tuy Hoa's Phạm Binh got a free kick in the 65th minute. Lưu Duong took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from La Chung, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Ngô Tuyet charged in rather forcefully in the 68th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Ngô Tuyet the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. Ngô Tuyet kicked well hit freekick during the 69th minute of the match. The audience was convinced that Hoàng Hoang's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Lê Huỳnh was relentless in the 83rd minute of the game. La Chung sent away a hard shot on goal in the 84th minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal. After having played for 86 minutes, La Chung managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Hanoi's supporters crossed their fingers, but La Chung was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Hanoi's Lê Huỳnh proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 93rd minute of the match, managed to save Hanoi from getting a goal against them. The Hanoi supporters were disappointed that their team didn't take anything from the match, despite matching Tuy Hoa's performance. The match ended with a win for Tuy Hoa.
