In the 20th minute, Thanh Hoa suffered a "counterattack" and this time the duo Brenner and Ly Cong Hoang Anh continued to score. The striker born in 1994 had a delicate pass for Hoang Anh to run down and defeat goalkeeper Y Eli Nie, doubling the gap for the home team.

In the 33rd minute, Ly Cong Hoang Anh almost scored a hat-trick, if goalkeeper Y Eli Nie had not jumped to block a dangerous long-range shot from a Nam Dinh player. The score of 2-0 remained until the end of the first half.

Entering the second half, with no way back, the away team Thanh Hoa played confidently and created many dangerous situations towards Nam Dinh's goal.
