Hoang Anh Gia Lai and Khanh Hoa - Clip: FPT Play
After a resounding victory in round 5, Hoang Anh Gia Lai Club confidently welcomed Khanh Hoa at home. Coach Kiatisak's team aims to win against this season's V-League "newbie" to accumulate points and enter the top 3 of the rankings.

Possessing a quality core and home field advantage, the mountain town team quickly dominated the game. Tuan Anh, Minh Vuong and Chau Ngoc Quang formed a trio in midfield, helping Hoang Anh Gia Lai overwhelm the away team with their signature wing attacks.
Minh Vuong's perfect free kick from the left wing helped his teammate Dinh Bao head the ball in, opening the score for Hoang Anh Gia Lai in the 16th minute.
The advantage of leading the score made Coach Kiatisak's students play "enthusiastically" and improve.

However, right at the beginning of the second half, Khanh Hoa unexpectedly equalized from a header by center back Jairo Rodrigues.
Khanh Hoa's goal accelerated the pace of the match. Mr. Duc's team deployed their signature high pressing and short passing style, forcing coach Vo Dinh Tan's team to constantly defend.
Creating many scoring opportunities but failing to capitalize on them, Coach Kiatisak’s team gradually ran out of steam and could not maintain their familiar attacking style. Meanwhile, the coastal city team defended firmly and successfully earned 1 point at Pleiku Stadium.
The third consecutive draw at Pleiku Stadium this season caused Mr. Kiatisak and his team to lose the chance to enter the top 3. Hoang Anh Gia Lai Club currently has 8 points after 6 rounds, temporarily ranking 5th in the rankings but will likely be dethroned after round 6 ends.
Later that same day, Nam Dinh Blue Steel struggled to win 1-0 against Song Lam Nghe An right at Thien Truong Stadium. With 3 points, the team from the South temporarily rose to the top of the rankings with 12 points.
Meanwhile, the first defeat this season caused Song Lam Nghe An to fall into the "red light" group with 5 points after 6 rounds.
