Welcoming Gamba Osaka at Thien Truong Stadium in the second leg of the C2 Asian Cup, Nam Dinh FC took the field with 9 foreign players and clearly showed their goal of winning 1 point. Duong Thanh Hao and Dang Van Toi are 2 rare domestic players in the squad of the Southern team.

Despite their determination to attack when entering the game, Nam Dinh Club received a cold shower very early on.

In the 8th minute, in a simple attack, Kanji Okunuki crossed the ball into the penalty area for Rin Mito to comfortably head the ball past goalkeeper Caique Santos, putting Gamba Osaka ahead 1-0.

After conceding the goal, Nam Dinh still tried to gain control of the game but only controlled the ball for 30% of the match. Coach Nguyen Trung Kien's team could only hope for counter-attacks and tried to take advantage of them with simple shots.

Therefore, the threat of Nam Dinh's attack on Gamba Osaka was not high. In 14 shots, the home team only had 4 shots on target, but not one of them scored. 0-1 was the final result of the match.

The positive point is that Nam Dinh has limited the number of goals conceded when facing Japanese teams in the history of participating in Asian Cups. In the previous times, Nam Dinh always lost by 3 goals or more. In the first leg, they lost 1-3 in Japan.

Despite losing 2 matches to Gamba Osaka, Nam Dinh FC still maintained second place in Group F of the Asian Cup C2 after the 4th match. In the same match, Ratchaburi won 7-0 against Eastern FC, but ranked below coach Nguyen Trung Kien's team due to losing head-to-head record.
