Spectators: 35 (Terracing: 27, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Nguyễn Huy kicked off to start the match. 5 minutes into the game, Nereo Senon was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Famaillá AFC's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Đông Á Thanh Hóa FC the free kick. The supporters of Đông Á Thanh Hóa FC booed when Famaillá AFC was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 5 match minutes in a wonderful position. Nereo Senon didn't get a good kick on the ball. In the 7th minute, Nereo Senon hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Santiago Bilintx took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Lê Minh, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. With a little luck, Đông Á Thanh Hóa FC's Trần Bay got control of the ball when Nereo Senon tried to sneak it across the goal line. With his leg Trần Bay managed to avoid a goal in the 15thth minute, when Famaillá AFC's Baldomiro Chaime fired away a shot with a lot of spin towards his right hand side. In the 16th minute the ball was on its way in behind Đông Á Thanh Hóa FC's goalkeeper Trần Bay, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar.

In the 29th minute Nguyễn Huy shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Santiago Bilintx saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. If Nguyễn Huy had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 32nd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Lê Minh sent away a hard shot on goal in the 42nd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Cristian Bidari fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 45th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Trần Bay having to interfere. Trần Bay took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Baldomiro Chaime, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. In the 49th minute Famaillá AFC were awarded a corner.

After a rather tough play, Đông Á Thanh Hóa FC's Nguyễn Huynh Duc got a free kick in the 62nd minute. Baldomiro Chaime struck a weak shot in the 64th minute. Trần Bay didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Famaillá AFC. When Cristian Bidari came up free with the goalie in the 65th minute, the Famaillá AFC 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 Cristian Bidari couldn't finish the play. Trần Bay took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Baldomiro Chaime, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. In the 73rd minute, Cristian Bidari ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Trần Bay was frozen by the shot and now it was 2-2.
