Da Nang Club lost the right to self-determination before Ho Chi Minh City Club and Binh Duong

Leaving Hoa Xuan Stadium, many Da Nang fans were still shocked when their team unexpectedly fell 0-1 to SLNA, who seemed to have lost their motivation. In fact, the previous two consecutive defeats had put coach Phan Nhu Thuat and his team under great pressure. But this young "general" still persisted with the rejuvenation strategy when he boldly sent 4 players born in 2001 to play from the start. It was the desire to perform of the young players that caused many difficulties for the home team. The absence of Ha Minh Tuan (injured) and Lucas (suspended) made the Da Nang club's attack heavy and disoriented. Then the goal of SLNA's young talent Dinh Xuan Tien in the 85th minute made the whole Hoa Xuan Stadium freeze. Nearly the last 10 minutes of the match (including 5 minutes of extra time) were not enough when the Da Nang players no longer had the physical and mental strength to face SLNA's disciplined play.

Losing painfully at home, Da Nang FC almost put both feet on the first division when Ho Chi Minh City FC and Binh Duong both had important victories. At home, Binh Duong FC had their second consecutive victory, also the second consecutive match in which captain Tien Linh scored to continue to maintain a safe distance from the two teams below. The main striker of the Vietnamese team took advantage of Quang Hung's unexpected breakthrough, before having a sensational tap-in to open the score for the team from Thu Dau Mot in the 36th minute. After many rounds without scoring, striker Rimario, when entering the field, made great efforts and scored to raise the score to 2-0 6 minutes later, his 7th goal since the beginning of the season.

Although coach Vo Dinh Tan continuously tried to change his firepower, Khanh Hoa Club could not score an equalizer, accepting a 0-3 loss after the decisive goal in the 88th minute by center-back A San. The big win helped coach Le Huynh Duc and his team take a big step forward in their relegation campaign.

During the away match at Pleiku Stadium, Ho Chi Minh City Club also had a "golden" victory against HAGL, with the only goal scored by veteran Samson. The goal helped Samson rise to the top 3 in scoring achievements (9 goals), also opening up the chance of relegation for coach Vu Tien Thanh and his team.

After round 4 of phase 2, Binh Duong Club and Ho Chi Minh City Club have 14 points, more than Da Nang Club (11 points) with the result of one win. This means that if the two Southern teams draw at Thong Nhat in the final round, Da Nang Club will be officially relegated, regardless of how many goals they win against the home team Khanh Hoa in the final round.
