The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Ngô Thuyet was the one to do the kick off. Tuyen Quang's Nguyễn Bay played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Nguyễn Cuc in the 55th minute of play. Chung Quang Thanh kicked well hit freekick during the 56th minute of the match. After 60 minutes, Chung Quang Thanh mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Cam Ranh and the Tuyen Quang players grew even worse after the yellow card. The supporters of Tuyen Quang booed when Cam Ranh was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 60 match minutes in a wonderful position. Chung Quang Thanh didn't get a good kick on the ball. The audience was convinced that Ngô Thuyet's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Trần Tuyet was relentless in the 64th minute of the game. Ngô Thuyet might have been able to make a better finish in the 66th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Trần Tuyet. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Ngô Thuyet ran back to his position shaking his head. Phạm Nghiêm-Minh sent away a hard shot on goal in the 68th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance.

Nguyễn Bay took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Nguyễn Cuc, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. After a defensive mix-up in Cam Ranh's zone, Ngô Thuyet stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Trần Tuyet came out of the goal and Ngô Thuyet tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. The referee blew the final whistle, and the away crowd roared, having watched Tuyen Quang eke out a victory against a very well matched opponent.
