Generating excitement by securing a spot in the top 4, CLB Hải Phòng additionally stands out with their strong record at home.

However, the home team couldn't hold on for the rest of the match, as CLB Hải Phòng came from behind to win 2-1 with second-half goals by Friday and Tagueu.
This marks the third consecutive victory for coach Chu Đình Nghiêm’s squad, including two comebacks after falling behind. These successive wins have propelled the team from the port city to 4th place in the rankings. Meanwhile, CLB Công an TP.HCM has struggled recently (1 draw, 2 losses) and is gradually falling further behind in the race for the top spots.
