The importance of the competition for promotion tickets forced the players of both teams to enter the game cautiously, organize the defense from afar and fight fiercely in the midfield. In the half-time part of the first half, neither team really gained the upper hand nor created a clear opportunity to convert to a goal.
In the second half, the game suddenly turned in favor of Dugong Kien Giang when they soon had a 1-0 lead in the 47th minute. From a free kick situation outside the penalty area, Nguyen Dang Hau hit the left foot and sent the ball into the top corner of the goal, making goalkeeper Manh Thang’s hand tied.
Conceded and under great pressure, the young players of Vi tri Vang Kon Tum lost their temper and were impatient in finding an equalizer. Meanwhile, Dugong Kien Giang actively regulates the tempo, plays safely in the home area and waits for the opportunity to counterattack. The match drifted to the last minute in the helplessness of the Vi Tri Vang Kon Tum’s strikers. Besides, luck was not on the side of coach Chu Ngoc Canh’s team when Dinh The Chung’s header sent the ball to Dugong Kien Giang’s crossbar in the 88th minute of the match.
Losing the match with a score of 0-1, Vi tri Vang Kon Tum was forced to give up the slot to compete in the National Second Division in 2023 to Dugong Kien Giang. This is a very unfortunate result compared to the expectations of the team. However, the matches in the Third Division this year are also worthy of a valuable experience for the Vi tri Vang Kon Tum’s players, so that they can come back stronger next season.
Meanwhile, winning the promotion ticket is a very commendable achievement of Dugong Kien Giang when facing a team with many talented and very ambitious young faces. However, with the advantage of the players who are rated as “older”, along with reasonable competition has helped the team of coach Dao Van Phong excellently complete the set goals.
Nutifood Academy – Luxury Hạ Long: 0-0 (pen 3-4)
Nutifood Academy approached the match with a comfortable mentality and confidently pushed the offensive line up right after the opening whistle. This is also not surprising because Nutifood Academy is considered as the team with the best scoring performance in the qualifying round with 22 goals in 7 matches.
Consecutive turbulent phases were created by the player of coach Pham Thanh Nam in front of the opponent’s net, unfortunately the strikers did not take advantage of the success to convert into a goal. Meanwhile, Luxury Ha Long continued to be loyal to their very effective counter-attacking style that helped them qualify for the finals. If luckier, coach Vu Khanh Hung’s team could have opened the scoring in the situation when Xuan Tin tried to cross the ball from the left border into the center, the ball hit the foot of a Nutifood Academy player, but changed direction and hit the column along the goal of goalkeeper Thanh Long.
In the second half, Luxury Ha Long caught up better and created a lot of pressure on the area of Nutifood Academy. However, the pressure that Luxury Ha Long players created was not strong enough to break the balance of the match.
Seemingly not wanting to try the luck with the 11m penalty shootout, Luxury Ha Long tried to push the formation to play more offensively in the last 15 minutes of the match. In the 79th minute, they almost got a goal after Xuan Duc’s shot sank in the penalty area, but the Nutifood Academy goalkeeper excellently saved the home team.
The 90 minutes of the game ended with a score of 0-0 and the two teams were forced to decide the winner by penalty kick. In this confrontation, goalkeeper Huy Hoang became the “hero” of Luxury Ha Long when he successfully stopped 2 kicks from the 11m point of Nutifood Academy, bringing the final victory 3-4 with the ticket to promote to the 2023 National Second Division.
