Phạm Hải Yến opened the score for Hà Nội 1 thanks to her head shot in the eighth minute. Nguyễn Kim Anh doubled the score to 2-0 for the capital team in the 36th minute.
After the break, the No 1 team played slower to foster their physical strength. However, when the game had only three minutes to end, Thái Thị Thảo scored one more goal for her team.
