Spectators: 5000 (Terracing: 4000,
Seating: 1000, VIP seats: 0) The sun was shining, the grass was green and the audience cheered when Hoàng Phuc got the match started through his kick off. In a very dangerous position, a player in Phuoc Tich fell when an opponent tried to get the ball from him in the 2nd minute. Penalty! Trần Nam walked up to take care of the penalty kick. He was aiming for the top corner, but the ball went just outside the post. After a rather tough play, Son La's Trần Phuong got a free kick in the 7th minute. A hard shot 15 in the game by Phan Phuc from a close distance when the talented Nguyễn Pham managed to make a qualified save. Phuoc Tich's players were relieved. Nguyễn Pham was out of position in the 16 minute of play, and Phan Phuc capitalized on the mistake with a soft shot into the goal. Phan Phuc really showed his touch with that goal: 1-0. A collision led to Phuoc Tich getting a freekick after 19 minutes play. Nguyễn Nghiêm-Minh hit a great ball. In the 20th minute, Trần Nam sent off a long shot on goal, but the shot was nowhere near the goal and Phuoc Tich's Nguyễn Pham didn't even have to move. Son La's Đào Ho played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Huỳnh Phu in the 22nd minute of play. After some fancy dribbling in the 26th minute, Hoàng Phuc managed to get in a good position for a shot. Phuoc Tich's supporters rose to their feet, but Hoàng Phuc was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Đào Ho breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. In the 29th minute, Phan Phuc 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. Phuoc Tich's defense didn't have a chance, in the 33rd minute, when Trần Tấn Dũng scored to the left of an out of position Nguyễn Pham, making the score, 2-0. Phan Phuc fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 37th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Nguyễn Pham having to interfere. Phan Phuc spun around in front of the goal 43 minutes in the game, and got away a shot that, to his disappointment, went to the left of Phuoc Tich's goal. Af the end of the first half the score was 2-0. The first half had gone as expected for the home team.
The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Trần Tấn Dũng stepped up to make the kick off in the second half. Phuoc Tich's Nguyễn Pham played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Phan Phuc in the 59th minute of play. An unexpectedly hard shot by Trần Tấn Dũng in the 61st minute of play forced Phuoc Tich's goalkeeper Nguyễn Pham to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Phan Phuc struck a weak shot in the 63rd minute. Nguyễn Pham didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Son La. In the 64th minute, Nguyễn Loc hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Huỳnh Phu sent away a hard shot on goal in the 70th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. When Nguyễn Loc fell near the penalty area in the 72nd minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Phuoc Tich's protests and gave Nguyễn Loc a yellow card for diving instead. In the 72nd match minute, Phuoc Tich was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Nguyễn Loc to maneuver through the defense. The supporters of Son La booed when Phuoc Tich was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 77 match minutes in a wonderful position. Nguyễn Nghiêm-Minh didn't get a good kick on the ball. Đào Ho showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Hoàng Phuc in the 82nd minute of the match. Huỳnh Phu received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 86th minute. Đào Ho tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Đào Ho made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Hoàng Phuc in the 88th minute of play. 94 minutes into the match, Phuoc Tich's Hoàng Phuc sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Đào Ho narrowly saved just below the crossbar. It was no surprise that this one had ended in a win for the home team. Son La had played much better football throughout.
