3 – 3
“Van Tung Nguyen scores his second to reduce deficit and ignite comeback hopes”
PivotalWhat appeared to be a comfortable Hải Phòng victory turned into a thrilling six-goal spectacle as Đông Á Thanh Hoá staged a remarkable comeback to salvage a point. Joel Tagueu's double and Luiz Antônio's strike had the hosts cruising at 3-1, but Van Tung Nguyen's brace sparked the revival before Rimario Gordon completed the dramatic equalizer with nine minutes remaining. The result sees both teams share the spoils in what was expected to be a closely contested encounter, with Hải Phòng's defensive collapse in the final third costing them what seemed certain victory. This entertaining draw showcases the unpredictable nature of the V-League, as neither side could establish lasting control despite multiple lead changes throughout the second half.
