Many key players were injured or in poor physical condition, causing the home team to not have the strongest lineup when welcomingSHB Da Nang at Thien Truong Stadium. Coach Nguyen Trung Kien's team even received a "cold shower" after only 14 minutes of play.

From a difficult cross from Henen on the right wing, Anh Tuan's shot was blocked by goalkeeper Nguyen Manh. The ball bounced back and Phi Hoang was there to score the rebound into the home team's net.

Conceding an early goal, Nam Dinh players' mentality became heavy and they seemed stuck in finding a way into the opponent's goal. The 1-0 score remained until the end of the first half.

In the second half, the home team increased the pressure with a series of opportunities created. However, Romulo and Lam Ti Phong's long-range shots could not defeat goalkeeper Van Bieu - who had an excellent day.

It seemed like the home team was empty-handed at Thien Truong Stadium, but in the 89th minute, from a precise cross from the left wing, Brazilian defender Lucas Alves with a height of 1m93 jumped higher than everyone to head the ball into the net of goalkeeper Van Bieu, equalizing 1-1 for Nam Dinh.

This was also the goal that helped defending champion Nam Dinh retain a point at home, but they continued to disappoint when extending their winless streak for the past 2 months.
