With their home-field advantage, SHB Da Nang were expected to clinch the full three points to improve their position in the standings. However, manager Le Huynh Duc’s side was troubled by the guests’ sharp counter-attacking style. Song Lam Nghe An threatened to score in the opening minutes as Olaha stole the ball and drove a shot off the post. After such a careless situation, SHB Da Nang played with greater precaution, creating a number of chances to open the scoring. Seconds before half time, naturalised forward Do Merlo produced a cunning header that unexpectedly hit the crossbar. After the break, the host team proactively increased the pressure on the away goal seeking for an opener. Within just four minutes, Nghe An keeper Nguyen Manh was forced to make two brilliant saves after A Mit’s attempts. Failing to capitalise on their opportunities, Le Huynh Duc’s troops had to pay dearly eight minutes after the hour mark.
