Right from the beginning of the match, PVF-CAND entered the game proactively, controlled the ball well and continuously put pressure on Song Lam Nghe An. The home team no longer had a goal to strive for, so they used many young players, only arranging foreign player Olaha in the attack, making the game completely lean towards the away team.
Despite overwhelming dominance, PVF-CAND faced many difficulties in finishing when continuously missing opportunities in the first half. Goalkeeper Nguyen Huu Hau of Song Lam Nghe An played prominently with many effective saves, helping the home team stand firm for most of the early match.
It was not until the 32nd minute that the deadlock was broken when Eid Mahmoud finished from close range to open the score after a favorable cross from Vo Anh Quan. Just 4 minutes later, the Swedish striker continued to double the gap with an accurate tap-in in the penalty area, putting PVF-CAND ahead 2-0 before halftime.
In the second half, PVF-CAND actively slowed down, played defensively and waited for counter-attack opportunities. Song Lam Nghe An, despite their efforts, did not create many significant dangerous situations.
In the 61st minute, Nguyen Xuan Bac took advantage of the counter-attack opportunity to increase the score to 3-0, almost deciding the match for the away team. In the 78th minute, Le Dinh Long Vu scored to narrow the score to 1-3 for Song Lam Nghe An, but that was just a consolation goal.
At the end of the last round, PVF-CAND also has 24 points like Da Nang and Becamex TPHCM. However, this team ranked 13th thanks to the head-to-head result, thereby having to play a play-off with Bac Ninh to compete for a place to stay in V.League.
