LPB HA.GL is at risk of falling to second to last position.

In a position where they had to win 3 points to gain an advantage in the race to escape the bottom of the table, and facing Thanh Hoa, who were in the middle of the rankings and not too difficult, but LPB HA.GL players could not overcome themselves when they were held to a 1-1 draw by the Thanh team.

LPB HA.GL players were unable to take advantage of home field advantage to win against Thanh Hoa.

Coach Vu Tien Thanh deployed his strongest lineup and took the initiative in attacking from the start of the match. However, Thanh Hoa's solid defense did not create much space for the home team's strikers to penetrate deep into the 16m50 box to threaten goalkeeper Thanh Thang's goal.

Thanh Hoa's approach to the match was considered reasonable when HA.GL players were in a corner, forced to win, so impatience and haste would often make the final finishes inaccurate. From about the middle of the first half, the away team gradually controlled the midfield and pushed up the attacking formation. Thanh Hoa repeatedly posed danger to the defense of the mountain town team.

At a time when the game was balanced, HA.GL unexpectedly opened the score first. It started with Minh Vuong's effort to dribble the ball before making the decisive pass to Thanh Binh, who finished scoring the opening goal for the home team.

The draw put LPB HA.GL at risk of being surpassed by the second-to-last team, SLNA.

The match continued at a fast pace, Thanh Hoa pushed up their attacking formation in hopes of finding an equalizer. A relaxed mentality and a sharp attack helped the away team equalize in the 28th minute after Luis Antonio scored. The attacking play was quite attractive for both teams. The home team once again put the ball into goalkeeper Thanh Thang's net in the 35th minute, but the referee did not recognize it when determining that there was an offside.

Once again, luck was not on HA.GL's side in the 45th minute when the crossbar denied a goal from Ngoc Quang's powerful shot from outside the 16m50 box. Adjustments in the second half from the technical areas made the second half more intense. With a relaxed mentality and a draw as planned, Thanh Hoa played more leisurely.

With a 1-1 draw, LPB HA.GL has 26 points and is only above SLNA and Khanh Hoa. If SLNA gets points in the match against Nam Dinh on the evening of May 31, coach Vu Tien Thanh's team will fall to the second-to-last position.
