The focus of the first day of competition in the opening match was the opposite of the defending champion An Bien to encounter Huu Dinh. With his position, An Bien is more appreciated and also the ones who show the initiative to impose the game right after the opening whistle.

In the 20th minute of the first half, An Bien scored to break the deadlock. Taking advantage of a ball-winning situation in midfield, the players in red coordinated smoothly before former futsal player Tran Tuyen scored the opening goal for the defending champion.

Having a goal in the lead seemed to help An Bien easily deploy the game. However, in the 30th minute, Huu Dinh unexpectedly had an equalizer thanks to Nguyen Minh Duc after a clever free kick arrangement and helped Huu Dinh bring the match back to the starting line before the end of the first half.

In the second half, An Bien speeded up with the goal of not losing 3 points in the day of the army. After many efforts to be denied, coach Nguyen Vo Hoang Phu's army had what he needed. In the first minute of the match from a free kick, midfielder Duong Van Tuan brought the shot to touch a player on the right side of the right side, causing the ball to change the direction into the net. This is also the goal that helped An Bien to set a 2-1 hardship and bring back 3 points on the first day of the tournament.

Meanwhile in the match at the same time, another traditional team of the 7 South Stadium, Nghiem Pham Holdings, also won the same score against Viet Thang Steel. Tien Ha on the Nghiem Pham Holdings side was the one who opened the point in the first half before Van Duy on the Viet Thang Steel side brought the match to the starting line at the beginning of the second half. By the 60th minute, Hoai Phong scored a valuable goal to help Nghiem Pham Holdings set the victory.
