The "relegation battle" between Da Nang and Quang Nam in round 23 delivered a dramatic scenario right from the opening minutes. Just four minutes into the match, Da Nang found themselves playing with ten men. Defender Quang Hung made a high tackle that struck midfielder Trung Phong of Quang Nam in the face. After consulting VAR, the Thai referee did not hesitate to issue a direct red card, putting Da Nang at a serious disadvantage.

It seemed as though the game would collapse after the early red card, but it was precisely in this desperate situation that the Han River team showed commendable fighting spirit. Despite being pressured and dominated by Quang Nam for most of the first half, Coach Le Duc Tuan's players still played tenaciously and maintained their formation.

The turning point of the match came in the 45th minute when Quang Nam's goalkeeper, Van Cong, made a costly mistake. What seemed like a simple clearance turned into an assist for Phan Van Long, who seized the opportunity and scored into an empty net. This priceless goal gave Da Nang a lead going into halftime, despite playing with ten men.

In the second half, Quang Nam continued to press with the goal of finding an equalizer. However, thanks to a focused Da Nang defense and goalkeeper Bui Tien Dung's numerous excellent saves, Quang Nam was unable to turn the tide. The match ended with Da Nang winning 1-0, much to the delight of thousands of fans in the stadium.

This courageous victory not only earned Da Nang three valuable points but also created a crucial turning point in the relegation battle. They temporarily rose to 13th place with 20 points, pushing Binh Dinh to the bottom of the table. The pressure now weighs heavily on the team from Binh Dinh, especially as they will face an ambitious The Cong Viettel side in the next round.

With only a few rounds left in the V.League 2024/25 season, the relegation battle is far from over. With the fighting spirit shown in their recent match, Da Nang is gradually writing a spectacular escape from relegation.
