Quy Nhon Binh Dinh Club lost 0-1 to host Ho Chi Minh City in the penultimate round of V-League 2024-2025 at Thong Nhat Stadium on the evening of June 15.
This result almost put the martial arts team on the brink of relegation when they could not take control of the final round. Quy Nhon Binh Dinh Club is at the bottom of the table, 1 point behind second-to-last SHB Da Nang and 4 points behind Quang Nam.
After losing to Ho Chi Minh City Club, the players and coaching staff of Quy Nhon Binh Dinh Club were all very sad and disappointed. Coach Tran Minh Chien did not attend the post-match press conference but delegated it to assistant Tran Hung Cuong.
Mr. Tran Hung Cuong entered the press conference room with an extremely sad face. "Of course, we are very disappointed because we did not achieve our goal. You can see the developments of the V-League by looking at the rankings," he said bitterly.
Assistant Tran Hung Cuong admitted that Quy Nhon Binh Dinh FC's chance of staying in the league is gone. He said: "With this loss, we no longer have hope of staying in the V-League. Theoretically, there is still a chance, but the players' spirit is very low.
We can only try to encourage the players to play their best in the final round at home against Hanoi FC on June 22 to try to compete for a play-off ticket."

Meanwhile, Ho Chi Minh City Club was "overjoyed" after the victory, thereby securing the right to stay in the league one round early.
Coach Phung Thanh Phuong said: "After the end of the first half, I told the players to be patient. I thought the opportunity would come with home field advantage. And we did it with a win."
Coach Phung Thanh Phuong said that after completing the relegation target assigned by the club's board of directors, the club will evaluate the gains and losses this season. "We gained more when our mainstays left, the remaining players kept their spirits up. The young players have matured and become more confident after a season," he said.
Coach Phung Thanh Phuong also revealed that Vietnamese-American goalkeeper Patrik Le Giang will stay with the team next season. As for Endrick - who scored the only goal in the victory over Quy Nhon Binh Dinh Club, Ho Chi Minh City Club will have to work with the home club of this Malaysian-Brazilian striker.
Coach Phung Thanh Phuong also sent his thanks to Ho Chi Minh City fans who came to the stadium in large numbers to cheer on the relegation match against Quy Nhon Binh Dinh Club.
"In the last home match, we tried our best to show our gratitude to the fans and the players' relatives throughout the past time. On behalf of the team, I would like to thank the fans for supporting us during the past season," he said.
Quy Nhon Binh Dinh Club has very little chance of staying in the league.
According to the regulations, the bottom team of the 2024-2025 V-League will be directly relegated. The second-to-last team will play a play-off match with the runner-up of the 2024-2025 First Division to win the right to play in the 2025-2026 V-League.
