Match Overview

Second‑Half Response

Thep Xanh Nam Dinh came out with renewed determination after the break. Coach Phan Thanh Hung made tactical adjustments, pushing more players forward. Their pressure bore fruit in the 58th minute when a swift counter‑attack ended with Hoang Van Khoa sliding the ball home from a tight angle to level the score.

Both teams had chances to win it in the final quarter of the game. Hai Phong forced a spectacular save from the Nam Dinh goalkeeper Tran Van Loi, while Nam Dinh hit the crossbar from a set‑piece. Ultimately, a draw was a fair reflection of the balanced contest.
