This advantage boosted the confidence of Coach Nguyen Duy Dong’s players, allowing them to play with greater enthusiasm.
They maintained the 1-0 scoreline until the halftime whistle blew. In the second half, Binh Duong began to take more risks by pushing forward to attack. However, before they could find the equalizer, they conceded another goal. This time, Nguyen Trong Duc Vu secured a 2-0 victory for PVF against their opponents.
