Facing an opponent that was considered weaker and was struggling at the bottom of the rankings, The Cong Viettel quickly pushed up the attack to find a goal to create an advantage.

However, Song Lam Nghe An 's tight counter-attacking style of play made it very difficult for The Cong Viettel to approach goalkeeper Van Viet's goal.

Not only that, the counter-attacks of the Nghe An team also surprised the defense of The Cong Viettel.

In the 37th minute, The Cong Viettel's net shook after Olaha received the ball from his teammate and passed it to Ho Van Cuong for a shot. However, Olaha had previously received the ball in an offside position.

In the second half, Song Lam Nghe An continued to shake the home team's net. In the 52nd minute, from a corner kick by Song Lam Nghe An, the ball hit Thanh Binh's thigh and Van Thanh seized the opportunity to shoot the ball into the roof of The Cong Viettel's net. However, VAR determined that the yellow shirt player was at fault for goalkeeper The Tai.

After two missed goals, The Cong Viettel was forced to increase pressure on Song Lam Nghe An's goal to find a goal and relieve the pressure on the defense. However, the young players of Song Lam Nghe An played very confidently against an opponent with the best attack in the tournament.

However, a mistake in the final minutes of Song Lam Nghe An broke the balance. In the 86th minute, Quang Vinh of Song Lam Nghe An kicked Cong Phuong's leg in the penalty area. After reviewing VAR, referee Nguyen Viet Duan awarded The Cong Viettel a penalty. At the 11m mark, Pedro Henrique kicked the ball very dangerously, even though goalkeeper Van Viet flew in the right direction, he could not block it.

In the remaining minutes, despite great efforts, Song Lam Nghe An could not score an equalizer and accepted defeat in round 20.

In the matches on the same day, Ho Chi Minh City Club lost 0-1 to Hong Linh Ha Tinh.
