Thể Công-Viettel secured a crucial 2-1 victory away to bottom-placed Hải Phòng, with Brazilian striker Lucão proving to be the match-winner with a clinical brace. The visitors took control early through Lucão's 33rd-minute opener, but Hải Phòng showed fighting spirit to level through Joel Tagueu's equalizer just after the hour mark. However, Lucão restored Viettel's advantage just 11 minutes later with his second goal, ultimately proving decisive as the away side held on for three vital points. This result lifts Viettel further up the table while leaving Hải Phòng rooted at the bottom of the V-League standings, desperately needing points to avoid relegation.
