Nam Dinh lost two goals in 5 minutes

Playing away from home, Nam Dinh entered the match with confidence, pushing the pace of the match up from the very first minutes. Coach Mauro deployed his strongest lineup, quickly creating great pressure on Ratchaburi's field. The ball was continuously stuffed into the home team's penalty area from both sides, forcing Ratchaburi's defense to work at high intensity to neutralize the situation.

The proactive play helped Nam Dinh control most of the ball rolling. However, the ability to finish became the fatal weakness of the blue team. In the 40th minute, the clearest opportunity was created when Brenner created a very good wall for Ly Cong Hoang Anh to escape and face the goalkeeper. Although there was a lot of space in front of him, this midfielder shot wide of the post, much to the regret of the coaching staff.

After the break, the game did not change much. Nam Dinh continued to push up their formation, suffocating Ratchaburi with their superior ball control. However, on the other side, the home team suddenly had sharp counter-attacks in the second half. Begueba dribbled at speed on the right wing and then crossed for Jakkaphan, but the number 10's shot went just wide of the post.

Nam Dinh still created great opportunities. In the 81st minute, from a low cross from the left wing, Tuan Anh had a very intentional header, the ball bounced right to Brenner's position. But at a distance of just over 5 meters and with the goal wide open, this foreign player sent the ball over the bar, missing a golden opportunity to open the score.

The wastefulness cost Nam Dinh dearly in the extra time. In the 90+2 minute, from a not-so-dangerous cross from the right wing, goalkeeper Caique rushed out but failed to catch the ball, allowing Sidcley to easily shoot into an empty net. Just three minutes later, the team from Nam Dinh continued to concede a second goal in a quick counter-attack by the home team. The away team's goal was scored by Ikhsan Fandi.

Dominating the game for most of the time but lacking luck in the final touches, Nam Dinh left the field with a regrettable 0-2 defeat.
