Spectators: 5000 (Terracing: 4000, Seating: 1000, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Trần Thai started the match with the kick off. Trần Thai scored 1-0 in the 5th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Trần Thi Ngoc, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. Phan Tấn Dũng struck a weak shot in the 8th minute. Trần Nhật Minh didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Tran Fc. After 11 minutes, Trần Thai made it 2-0 with a short kick to the right side. Tran Fc's Trần Thi Ngoc tried to save the shot but he was too slow in reacting to the shot. 18 minutes into the match, Tran Fc's goalkeeper Trần Thi Ngoc had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Nguyễn Lien. When Trần Thai came up free with the goalie in the 19th minute, the Min-anola fans jumped to their feet.

The hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for Trần Chi to strike the kick off in the second half. 53 minutes into the match, Nguyễn Lien notched a goal, 6-0, to the right of Tran Fc's Trần Thi Ngoc.

After 82 minutes of play, Min-anola's Trần Thai made it 9-0 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Trần Thi Ngoc was left in no man's land by his defense there!
