Equal in the first half
Nam Dinh FC had many “Westerners” but only had a slight advantage over their opponents in terms of ball possession, while in terms of game position, the two teams appeared to be quite balanced. The first notable opportunity belonged to Sanfrecce Hiroshima FC. In the 4th minute, from a cross from his teammate, Higashi Sunki volleyed beautifully, but unfortunately the ball went over the crossbar.
By the 6th minute, coach Vu Hong Viet's team had the answer. Nam Dinh players counterattacked quickly and passed the ball smoothly in front of the opponent's penalty area. Hendrio passed his heel to Rogerio Santos who rushed forward to finish, sending the ball just wide of the post.
