After their initial two victories in the tournament, Bà Rịa Vũng Tàu gained significant confidence and aimed to secure a win against Quảng Ngãi. Coach Liêm Thanh’s team quickly took control of the match. However, the Bà Rịa Vũng Tàu strikers struggled with finishing and missed several dangerous scoring opportunities.
In the 45th minute plus one, Bà Rịa Vũng Tàu was awarded a free kick just outside the penalty area. Nguyễn Lê Quang Khôi took a powerful and precise free kick, opening the scoring for Bà Rịa Vũng Tàu. In reality, goalkeeper Gia Lộc had little chance to save it, and the first half ended with the Southern team holding the advantage.
In the second half, Quảng Ngãi, unwilling to accept defeat, pushed forward to seek an equalizer. In the 55th minute, after a corner kick from a teammate, Mạnh Dũng scored a stunning goal to level the score at 1-1 for Quảng Ngãi.
Coach Phan Thanh Huy recognized that his team was not superior to their opponents. A draw was still a commendable effort for Quảng Ngãi. Unfortunately, they could not maintain their level of play until the end of the match. In the 90th minute plus two, Xuân Chương scored a technical goal to seal a 2-1 victory for Bà Rịa Vũng Tàu. With this win, Bà Rịa Vũng Tàu secured all three victories and topped Group B.
