However, the quality of the final touches of the two teams' strikers was not high. Therefore, although the match was quite attractive with a fast ball circulation speed, there were no goals. The first half ended in a 0-0 draw.

Unbelievable missed penalty

In the 56th minute, Lucao (Hai Phong FC) rushed forward after a pass from his teammate and was fouled by the goalkeeper of Ho Chi Minh City FC in the penalty area. Initially, the referee waved his hand. But after consulting with the VAR room and going directly to the sideline to watch the slow-motion replay, the referee decided to point to the penalty spot. At the 11m mark, although the goalkeeper of Ho Chi Minh City FC jumped in the wrong direction, Lucao corrected his foot and sent the ball wide of the post in an unbelievable way.

With the Brazilian striker's unfortunate missed opportunity to score, Coach Chu Dinh Nghiem could only stand there in a daze near the technical area. After that, Lucao continued to be given delicious opportunities by his teammates, but this foreign player could not put the ball into the net of the Thong Nhat Stadium team.

But in the end, Mr. Nghiem was able to breathe a sigh of relief. It was not until the 89th minute that Lucao was able to shake off his bad luck. After his teammate made a wall, the Brazilian striker unleashed a beautiful diagonal shot, sending the ball through the forest of players on both sides and into the opponent's net.

After the goal that broke the deadlock, Hai Phong FC added a second goal. In the 90+4 minute, Ho Minh Di skillfully chipped the ball to double the gap, bringing the port city team to a 2-0 lead. This was also the final score of the match.
