The home team took the initiative with the duo Minh Vuong and Luu Tu Nhan taking on the role of attack organizers. However, the disciplined defense of Quy Nhon club under the command of veteran midfielder Cao Van Trien caused many difficulties for Truong Tuoi Dong Nai in deploying the ball. The first half ended without any goals scored.
In the second half, coach Viet Thang adjusted personnel when he withdrew striker Alex Sandro and sent Ho Thanh Minh onto the field, and at the same time gave Ngoc Tien and Quoc Loc the opportunity to replace the two central midfielders Ngoc Duc and Xuan Truong. This change helped the home team increase pressure and control the game better.
In the 61st minute, Ho Thanh Minh made his mark with a skillful handling, passing the ball over the opponent's goalkeeper, opening the score 1-0 for Truong Tuoi Dong Nai. This is Ho Thanh Minh's third goal in the last 2 matches.
In the remaining time, the home team continued to create a number of more opportunities but failed to take advantage, while Quy Nhon club could not organize any notable attacks. The mobility of the midfield helped Truong Tuoi Dong Nai maintain the game and maintain the score until the end of the match.
With this victory, Truong Tuoi Dong Nai club has 17 points, temporarily leading the rankings, 2 points ahead of the second-placed team, Khanh Hoa. In the match on November 9, if they overcome Dong Thap club, the coastal city team will have the opportunity to reclaim the No. 1 position.
