The match at Pleiku Stadium once again showed Nam Dinh's stalemate when many key players were absent. Coach Nguyen Trung Kien continued to not have the strongest squad when a series of key players were still being treated for injuries, forcing him to rotate the squad.

Just like the match against Da Nang in round 8, Nam Dinh started the game erratically and soon paid the price when Minh Tam opened the score for HAGL in the 19th minute. Although 10 minutes later, Brenner shone with a double in just 5 minutes, helping the away team take a 2-1 lead, but the loose defense made them lose the advantage right before the end of the first half. In the 45th minute, Thanh Nhan scored the equalizer for the home team.

Entering the second half, both teams tried their best with the determination to win all 3 points. However, Nam Dinh seemed to be losing strength. Coach Nguyen Trung Kien's players could no longer maintain the pressing rhythm, the attacking combinations became disjointed, while the defense kept making positioning mistakes. Although HAGL did not create many clear-cut chances, Nam Dinh lacked the necessary breakthrough to finish off the opponent.

The match ended with a score of 2-2. The 6th consecutive draw left Nam Dinh still stuck in the middle of the rankings with 9 points after 9 rounds. From the position of the top candidate at the beginning of the season, the team from Nam Dinh is showing clear signs of slowing down as the force has not yet recovered and the familiar attacking moves are gradually being figured out. Meanwhile, HAGL temporarily rose to 12th place with 7 points.
