After defeating Ranger Club (Hong Kong) in the preliminary round, Hai Phong Club wanted to surprise Incheon United in the play-off match to enter the AFC Champions League group stage. Coach Chu Dinh Nghiem's team played very confidently and opened the score 1-0 by Yuri Mamute, but then lost 1-3 overall. The Vietnamese representative played quite resiliently with a defensive counter-attacking style, but when entering extra time (the 2 regular periods were tied 1-1), due to being outclassed by their opponents, they could not make a difference.
