On the afternoon of May 3rd, Ho Chi Minh City FC will host Quy Nhon United at Ba Ria Stadium in Round 17 of the 2025-2026 First Division League. In the first leg, Ho Chi Minh City FC lost to Quy Nhon United 1-3.
Just 50 seconds into the match, goalkeeper Thanh Thắng made a crucial save for Ho Chi Minh City FC after a close-range shot from Đào Gia Việt. The 23-year-old striker himself was visibly disappointed by his missed opportunity.
Meanwhile, Ho Chi Minh City FC also missed a scoring opportunity in the 15th minute. Jermie Lynch, surrounded by four Quy Nhon United players, managed to control the ball and unleash a shot that hit the post and bounced out.
It wasn't until the 45th minute + 2 that the home team opened the scoring from the penalty spot thanks to striker Jermie Lynch. Referee Tran Van Dien awarded a penalty to Ho Chi Minh City FC when Duc Huu of the Binh Dinh team committed a foul inside the penalty area.
In the second half, Jermie Lynch continued his excellent performance to secure the victory for Ho Chi Minh City FC. In the 54th minute, the Jamaican striker, from midfield, quickly passed the ball past the entire opposing defense, creating an opportunity for Quoc Hoang to score a beautiful volley from the 16.5-meter line, increasing the score to 2-0.
In the 64th minute, as Quy Nhon United players cleared the ball, Jermie Lynch quickly chipped the ball from about 30 meters when he saw goalkeeper Duong Van Loi advanced, scoring the goal that sealed a 3-0 victory for Ho Chi Minh City FC.
The score could have been even more lopsided if the Ho Chi Minh City FC strikers had been more accurate with their finishing. For example, in the 60th minute, Lam Thuan shot wide in a one-on-one situation with goalkeeper Duong Van Loi.
With a 3-0 victory, Coach Nguyen Minh Phuong's team reclaimed third place in the standings with 28 points, pushing Quy Nhon United down to fourth place with one point less. With five rounds remaining, the race for medals between these two teams will be equally intense.
