Despite not having Cong Phuong in the squad, Truong Tuoi Dong Nai still dominated the game when defeating Ha Tinh at home to win a ticket to the quarter-finals of the 2025/26 National Cup. The Southeast team entered the game proactively, pushing the pace up from the first minutes and quickly showing the difference in the quality of play.

In the 27th minute, in the moment when many people thought the opportunity had passed when Xuan Truong slipped, the captain of Dong Nai still had time to handle the ball with great feeling to pass the ball to Minh Vuong in the penalty area. The veteran midfielder received the ball with his chest and then turned around to shoot skillfully, completely defeating goalkeeper Thanh Tung. It was a move that showed the calmness and experience of the pillars, at the same time opening up the game completely belonging to the home team.

After the opening goal, Truong Tuoi Dong Nai continued to dominate the game. Coach Nguyen Viet Thang's players controlled the midfield, fought fiercely and pressed continuously, making it almost impossible for Ha Tinh to develop the ball. The away team appeared to be stuck, most of their coordination was blocked right in the middle of the field and they were not strong enough to create a breakthrough situation.

In the second half, Ha Tinh had to push up their formation to find an equalizer. Their most dangerous chance came in the 60th minute when Atshimene jumped high to head the ball dangerously after a cross from a set piece. However, goalkeeper Tan Truong flew to save the goal excellently, maintaining the advantage for the home team.

In the 70th minute, the Southeast team delivered the finishing blow. From a perfect counter-attack, Ho Thanh Minh crossed the ball accurately for Alex Sandro to finish, sealing the score at 2-0. The ticket to the quarter-finals was a worthy achievement for Truong Tuoi Dong Nai.
