Spectators: 5000 (Terracing: 4000, Seating: 1000, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Võ Minh-ha kicked off to start the match. The audience thought a goal was coming when Phạm Duc got free with Nguyễn Tuyet in the 4th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. After 5 played minutes Cai Be got a freekick which was hit by Trần Duc. After a defensive mix-up in Sharry Jrs's zone, Võ Cuc stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Trần Duc came out of the goal and Võ Cuc tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. If Bùi Bay had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 9th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Cai Be's Nguyễn Tuyet proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 12th minute of the match, managed to save Cai Be from getting a goal against them. La Hoang might have been able to make a better finish in the 16th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Nguyễn Tuyet. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. La Hoang ran back to his position shaking his head. When Bùi Bay came up free with the goalie in the 20th minute, the Cai Be 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 Bùi Bay couldn't finish the play. La Hoang sent away a hard shot on goal in the 23rd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. 25 minutes into the game, Võ Cuc cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 0-1. Trần Duc was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in. After 30 played minutes Cai Be got a freekick which was hit by Nguyễn Nam. An unexpectedly hard shot by Võ Minh-ha in the 31st minute of play forced Cai Be's goalkeeper Nguyễn Tuyet to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Võ Cuc scored 0-2 in the 32nd match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Trần Duc, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. La Hoang sent away a hard shot on goal in the 36th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. La Hoang sent away a hard shot on goal in the 38th minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal. In the 40th minute Võ Cuc shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Trần Duc saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Trần Duc took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Bùi Bay, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Bùi Bay's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Trần Duc read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 47th minute of play.

Trần Duc was in the perfect position, and the defense had done a good job marking him, but Võ Cuc showcased his skills and made a perfect shot to score 0-3 in the 53 minute of play. A collision led to Sharry Jrs getting a freekick after 58 minutes play. Hoàng Hong hit a great ball. After a defensive mix-up in Sharry Jrs's zone, Bùi Bay stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Trần Duc came out of the goal and Bùi Bay tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. After a rather tough play, Sharry Jrs's Hoàng Hong got a free kick in the 71st minute. In the 76th match minute, Cai Be was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Hồ Dinh to maneuver through the defense. Trần Duc kicked well hit freekick during the 77th minute of the match. La Hoang recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 78th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. Nguyễn Tuyet showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from La Hoang in the 83rd minute of the match. Võ Cuc received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 94th minute. Trần Duc tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Võ Cuc was really disappointed when he shot the ball just outside the right post instead of scoring a goal in the 97th minute. Cai Be's manager could be seen on the sidelines shaking his head and muttering to himself as his team had just wasted another chance. Cai Be's players went to the stands to thank the travelling support. The fan's backing had helped spurr the team on to a fine performance that won them the match.
