The home team, Khanh Hoa FC, recently suffered a disappointing defeat in the national cup, losing to Ha Tinh FC away from home in a penalty shootout. Despite this, coach Vo Dinh Tan's team still showed great determination. Meanwhile, the visiting team, Thanh Hoa FC, has had a very successful run of five recent matches and is highly rated for their trip to Nha Trang.
Romario (in the yellow shirt) is expected to be a key player in Thanh Hoa FC's attack.
Determined to secure points away from home, coach Velizar Popov fielded strong foreign players such as Rimario , Gustavo, and Luiz Antonio, along with the presence of central midfielder Thai Son, who had just returned from the Vietnamese national team. Despite having a superior squad compared to the home team, Thanh Hoa FC, currently ranked 4th in the V-League, was unable to gain the upper hand against Khanh Hoa FC in the first 45 minutes.
The home team, Khanh Hoa, had a very successful first half.
Perhaps the slippery pitch made it difficult for Thanh Hoa FC to launch attacks. Furthermore, coach Velizar Popov's team nearly paid the price in the 50th minute when the home team's foreign player, Lezard, had a chance to face goalkeeper Xuan Hoang, but unfortunately, his shot was too weak.
Lezard missed several opportunities to open the scoring for the home team, Khanh Hoa.
In the 67th minute, Lezard once again missed an opportunity to open the scoring for his team when his free kick hit the crossbar. Unable to capitalize on this chance, the home team paid the price just two minutes later when Luiz Antonio broke the deadlock with a spectacular and powerful long-range shot that beat goalkeeper Ngoc Cuong, giving Thanh Hoa FC the lead.
Thanh Hoa FC moved up to second place after Nam Dinh FC.
In the 80th minute, Romario shone with a precise angled shot to extend the visitors' lead to 2-0. Khánh Hòa's attempts to reduce the deficit in the remaining time were unsuccessful against a solid Thanh Hóa FC. With this 2-0 away win, coach Velizar Popov's team temporarily moved up to second place in the standings. Meanwhile, Khánh Hòa FC dropped to 11th place.
