Pham Xuan Manh, a former son of Song Lam Nghe An, scored for Hanoi FC, putting the team that helped him grow up in a difficult position in the relegation race. He refused to celebrate this goal.

SHB Da Nang FC rekindled their hopes of staying in the league after a thrilling 3-1 victory in the “reverse final” against Quy Nhon Binh Dinh. The victory of the Han River team was even more valuable when their group rival, Song Lam Nghe An, suffered a 1-2 defeat against Hanoi FC. Those were the developments in the two matches on May 10.

Before the 90+5 minute, SHB Da Nang Club still had no hope of staying in the league when the score was 1-1. However, the situation of the match changed very quickly, bringing explosive emotions to the fans watching the match. Right at the 90+5 minute, goalkeeper Bui Tien Dung joined the attack and had an extremely beautiful goal, raising the score to 2-1 for the home team.

With nothing left to lose, Quy Nhon Binh Dinh FC goalkeeper Hoai Anh also joined the attack in the remaining extra minutes. But the result was that the away team conceded another goal from a lightning counterattack, after goalkeeper Hoai Anh left the goal open.

This victory helped SHB Da Nang Club reduce the gap to only 2 points compared to Quy Nhon Binh Dinh Club (playing 1 less match). The victory of coach Duc Tuan and his team was even more valuable when their opponent in the same group, Song Lam Nghe An, lost 1-2 to Hanoi Club.

Hanoi FC's victory was due to Silva Daniel's goal in the final minutes of extra time (90+10). Thus, the gap between the bottom position of SHB Da Nang and the safe position of Song Lam Nghe An (position 12) is only 3 points (17 compared to 20). In the final round, round 26, these two teams will meet directly at Tam Ky Stadium. This is considered the "final match" for the ticket to stay in the league.

The victory of the Han River team makes the relegation race even more heated and unpredictable in the remaining rounds. From the 8th position of B.Binh Duong Club (25 points) to the last position of Da Nang, all are in the race to avoid the play-off ticket and the ticket to be relegated straight when the points are close to each other.

In the top group race, Hanoi FC continues to try to cling and find a way to "overthrow" the top spot of Nam Dinh Steel Blue when they win in Nghe An. The gap between the two top teams is now only 2 points (Hanoi FC 40 points, Nam Dinh 42 points). In this round, on May 11, Nam Dinh will host a very difficult opponent, Dong A Thanh Hoa.
