In the remaining minutes of the first half, the exciting game continued to be maintained but no more goals were scored.

From a distance of 11m, Jhon Cley beat goalkeeper Thanh Diep. However, a Hanoi Police player rushed into the penalty area early, so the referee asked the away striker to do it again. In the second time, Jhon Cley still shot at the right angle, even though Thanh Diep flew in the right direction, he could not save the home.
