With a 2-0 victory over Hanoi II in the early fixture of Round 4, Thai Nguyen T&T momentarily moved up to the second position in the rankings.
At Ha Dong Stadium, Thai Nguyen T&T took early control of the game and continuously pressed into the opponent's half. However, faced with Hanoi II's determined efforts, the visitors had to wait until the 32nd minute to score the opening goal.
From a corner kick by Thu Thìn, goalkeeper Hoài Thương's indecisive clearance allowed Thu Trang to dash in and finish from close range, putting Thai Nguyen T&T ahead.
