Nam Dinh Club affirms its position as the reigning V-League champion

The highlight of this match was still the Brazilian striker Rafaelson who had just applied for Vietnamese citizenship. He opened the scoring in the 51st minute, helping Nam Dinh FC relieve pressure and play much better. He was also the one who scored the winning goal for the team from Thanh Nam in the 71st minute, at the same time ending Thanh Hoa FC's hopes of turning the game around.

The second player to leave his mark in this match was rookie midfielder Caio Cesar (who played for Serie A, Brazil's highest league). He helped the team at Thien Truong Stadium dominate the midfield with his powerful runs and dribbling.

Another notable incident of the match occurred in the 36th minute, when defender Hoang Van Khanh, in an attempt to block the ball, caused Rimario to fall in the penalty area. After consulting VAR, the referee determined that there would be no penalty for Thanh Hoa Club. This incident also caused Thanh Hoa coach Popov to be given a yellow card by the referee for his reaction.

This victory helped Nam Dinh Club win the first National Super Cup title in the team's history.
