The race for second

At Thành Long in Ho Chi Minh City, Thái Nguyên T&T had most of the ball but struggled to break down a well-organised TP.HCM II defence. Bảo Trân finally scored in the 38th minute, Bích Thùy doubled the lead four minutes later, and Dân trí reported that Bích Thùy added the third in the 74th minute.

At Cửa Ông in Quảng Ninh, Hà Nội I needed a win but fell behind in the 9th minute to a goal from Than Khoáng sản Việt Nam's Nguyễn Thị Hải Yến. Four minutes later a Hà Nội I player who shares the name Hải Yến equalised, and it stayed 1-1.

In the other game, at Ngãi Giao, TP.HCM I failed to take their first-half chances and lost 0-2 to Phong Phú Hà Nam, who sealed it in the 88th minute.
