After the break, Khanh Hoa deployed offensive play with the vigorous performances of foreign players Mamadou and Leazard Watz and created many opportunities in front of the goal of Thep Xanh Nam Dinh. However, Khanh Hoa FC strikers lacked accuracy in scoring. Thep Xanh Nam Dinh also made rapid attacks, but they also didn’t score any goals. The match ended 3-2 for the visitors Thep Xanh Nam Dinh.

Coach Vo Dinh Tan and his players played with great effort and high determination, which satisfied their supporters although the team hasn’t earned any point after two matches. What Khanh Hoa FC need is improving their defense as former player Jairo did last season to help Khanh Hoa FC stand firm when facing strong opponents.
