The match was held at the national stadium with tense atmosphere. Vietnam players started the first half with high pressing, good ball control and many chances. Captain Nguyen Quoc Khanh, as the core, demonstrated clear leadership. However, Duy Dang and Tran Hoang Khanh's shots were not decisive enough. Entering the second half, changes were applied. Vietnam pushed higher, creating strong pressure. However, the 34th minute goal by Laieth Tayem made the atmosphere heavy. Vietnam players' reactions showed great surprise. Captain Nguyen Quoc Khanh timely raised the spirit, leading the team back. In the 66th minute, Nguyen Quoc Khanh scored with a header, giving hope.
