Although a draw would have been enough to secure a place in the quarterfinals, the Da Nang University of Sports and Physical Education team remained committed to an attacking, ball-control style of play. However, the Van Lang University team, with their well-executed defensive-counterattack strategy and quality players, forced their opponents to concede goals repeatedly. The goals scored by Hoang Duc Hau (33rd minute), Nguyen Cong Tai (49th minute), and Ngo Nhat Truong (63rd minute) all bore the hallmarks of the quick counter-attacking style employed by coach Nguyen Vo Hoang Phu Tuong from the start of the match. Furthermore, the outstanding performance of goalkeeper Bui Hoang Phuc cannot be overlooked, as he made numerous saves for the Van Lang University team. Hoang Phuc was also voted the Man of the Match.

Late efforts only resulted in a consolation goal for the Da Nang University of Physical Education and Sports team, scored by Huynh Van Thanh. With a 1-3 loss to Van Lang University, the Da Nang University of Physical Education and Sports team, previously the strongest contender for the quarterfinals, is now in a difficult position with only 3 points and a goal difference of -1. This result also opens the door wider for Ton Duc Thang University (0 points, goal difference -1), as they only need a one-goal victory against Van Lang University in the final match of Group A. Meanwhile, Van Lang University (3 points, goal difference +2) is now very close to securing a spot in the quarterfinals.
