La performed perfectly in the first 20 minutes of the first half by stopping a flurry of shots by the host including a threatening kick by Gonzalo Marronkle in the 13th minute.
However the former goalie for Ninh Binh was unable to maintain form under the consecutive attacks. His big mistake came when he was startled with a smart cross-pass by T&T's striker Nguyen Van Quyet which landed in the net in the 23rd minute.
Despite its home turf advantage, T&T failed to rally for most of the match and it was Binh Duong who mastered the second half.
National team members Nguyen Vu Phong and Nguyen Viet Thang, along with foreigner Udo Fortune were given opportunities to score but keeper Duong Hong Son on the T&T side held his edge. The freezing weather certainly did nothing to give the southern opponents an advantage.
As the match was nearing its end, T&T's Samson Kayode Olaleye had the chance to double the score but he failed to overcome keeper La who was ready and alert.
It was the host's second win, giving them six points after two matches. Binh Duong are in sixth place with one win and one loss.
