Despite conceding an early goal, the Hanoi Police players still maintained the necessary composure to organize many sieges on the opponent's goal. In the 20th minute, The Cong Viettel's midfield lost the ball in the middle of the field, creating conditions for the home team to quickly organize a counterattack. Unfortunately, Alan received the ball in the penalty area and shot just wide of the post.

However, just 2 minutes later, Alan managed to correct his mistake. From Dinh Trong's cross from the right wing, Alan quickly finished the ball past goalkeeper Van Phong and brought the match back to the starting line.

In the second half, both teams were cautious, making the game slower than the first half. In the 76th minute, Quang Hai passed the ball to Nguyen Van Duc to enter the penalty area before opening up an opportunity for Dinh Bac to finish. Fortunately for The Cong Viettel, Viet Tu used his foot to clear the ball and save the goal.

That was also the most dangerous situation when in the remaining minutes both teams were deadlocked in organizing attacks and accepted the final 1-1 draw on the opening day of LPBank V-League 2025-26.
