Despite taking the lead, Long An had to settle for a draw in their 12th round match of the First Division 2023/2024 season. After their victory in the previous round in the regional derby against Dong Thap, Long An was confident as they traveled to play against Hoa Binh in the 12th round of the First Division 2023/2024 season. Coach Ngo Quang Sang's team had more reasons to hope for points as the home team had not been performing well with 4 consecutive matches without a win (2 draws and 2 losses). However, Pham Thanh Luong's team was determined to end their recent winless streak. Both teams played an open and attacking game right from the start. In the 8th minute, Long An had their first chance with a shot from Le Thanh Phong after a pass from Nguyen Thanh Cong that hit the crossbar. Seven minutes later, Cù Nguyễn Khánh had a quick shot after a poor clearance from goalkeeper Nguyen Duy Dung, but the goalkeeper of Hoa Binh was able to correct his mistake. Hoa Binh and Long An had a back-and-forth game in the first half. In the 20th minute, the home team responded when Nguyen Thai Hoc crossed the ball for Le Van Cuong to make a decisive touch but goalkeeper Cao Hoang Truong Long was focused and made a save. In the following minutes, both teams tried to organize attacks but clear-cut chances were few. The first half ended with a stalemate and no goals. In the second half, Long An was the team that pushed the tempo with attacks towards the home team's goal. In the 53rd minute, in a rare attacking opportunity, Tran Vu Ngoc Tai from Hoa Binh had a header that hit the post. In the subsequent minutes, the game continued to be balanced. Long An shared points with Hoa Binh. In the 66th minute, after much effort, Long An opened the scoring with a decisive shot from Ngo Hoang Anh in the bottom right corner. Coach Pham Thanh Luong's team then pushed forward with determination to equalize. However, the home team rushed their combinations, causing their attacks to be cut off. Nevertheless, in the 83rd minute, Hoa Binh was awarded a penalty when the referee judged a Long An player to have handled the ball in the penalty area. Nguyen Hong Phuc made no mistake from the penalty spot to level the score 1-1. Long An had to settle for a disappointing draw, leaving them with 15 points and still in 5th place on the table. Meanwhile, Hoa Binh continued their winless streak with 5 consecutive matches without a win, leaving them with 11 points and in 10th place. After this match, Long An will return home to face Binh Duong in the National Cup Round of 16, while the Northern representative officially exits the competition. Result: Hoa Binh 1-1 Long An.
