Drawing 0-0 at home to bottom-placed Da Nang in round 12, Hai Phong could not seize the opportunity to take fourth place from Ha Tinh.
Starting the round in fifth place, two points behind Ha Tinh , coach Chu Dinh Nghiem and his team were full of hope of surpassing their opponents. The necessary condition was that they had to defeat Da Nang and the sufficient condition was that Ha Tinh lost to CAHN in the match at the same time. However, only one of the two conditions happened. Ha Tinh lost to CAHN 2-4, ending the round with 17 points while Hai Phong had 16 points after a 0-0 draw with Da Nang.

In fact, this is the sixth consecutive match that Hai Phong has not lost. After 12 rounds, they have only lost to Ha Tinh and Hanoi. However, the team from the Port City has drawn seven matches and is one of the four teams with the most draws, along with Nam Dinh, HAGL and Da Nang.
The performance at Lach Tray Stadium marked a step forward in Da Nang's playing style. This was the second consecutive match that the Song Han team played under the direction of coach Pham Minh Duc after the dismissal of Mr. Phan Thanh Hung. In the previous round, they also drew 1-1 with Binh Duong.
