The clash between Sanvinest Sanna Khanh Hoa and Tan Hiep Hung took place at 7pm on June 5. Both teams had a positive start and enjoyed equal chances in the first half. Coach Dang Dinh Khang of Sanvinest Sanna Khanh Hoa and coach Trang Hoang Vinh of Tan Hiep Hung made suitable adjustments to their team formation. However, the first half ended with no goal scored. The two sides maintained their play and form in the second half. From an attack starting from home side in the 6th minute, Nguyen Nho sent a cross to Kon So My Ser, and the young player beat goalkeeper of Tan Hiep Hung with his strong shot.
 
After conceding a goal, Tan Hiep Hung pushed their men forwards to level the score. However, their hastiness resulted not only in inaccurate shots but also in mistakes. With more than two minutes left in the game, Nguyen Van Trung of Tan Hiep Hung was sent off after being shown a second yellow card for a challenge on a player of Sanvinest Sanna Khanh Hoa. The host after that took the numerical advantage to look for a second goal. Finally, Khac Chi doubled the lead for Sanvinest Sanna Khanh Hoa.

The biggest surprise on June 5 was the loss of Quang Nam to the debutants Hung Gia Khang Dak Lak. Quang Nam have been highly assessed in all aspects compared to their opponents. They took the lead twice during the match but were pegged back and finally were defeated 2-3. This could be said to be an unexpected happiness of Hung Gia Khang Dak Lak in their first time taking part in a professional tournament. “As debutants, we joined the match with our determined dedication to the match. We won the match with a little luck because Quang Nam were really stronger than us,” said coach Tran Ngoc Cong of Hung Gia Khang Dak Lak.
