Match Overview
The home side started with intensity and took the lead inside the first ten minutes. A corner was only half‑cleared, and midfielder Le Tuan Anh pounced on the loose ball, firing a volley into the net from the edge of the area.
Becamex doubled their advantage in the 22nd minute through a stunning solo run from winger Nguyen Van Toan, who cut inside from the left flank and curled a shot beyond the reach of the Gia Lai goalkeeper. The visitors looked shell‑shocked and struggled to create any clear opportunities in the first half.
Second Half: Gia Lai Fight Back but Becamex Seal It
Hoang Anh Gia Lai showed more fight after the restart and pulled a goal back in the 55th minute. Striker Cong Phuong collected a pass on the edge of the box and turned sharply before firing low into the corner, giving the visitors hope.
However, Becamex restored their two‑goal cushion just ten minutes later. A quick counter‑attack saw Pham Van Hieu release substitute Nguyen Xuan Nam, who timed his run perfectly to slot home the third goal. Gia Lai’s attempts to mount a late rally were thwarted by a disciplined home defence.
