Quang Nam stays in the league in extra time, Da Nang plays play-off: VPF cannot 'rest' because...

Binh Dinh Club gave up early, but the relegation race in V-League 2024 - 2025 was still breathless until the last minutes of extra time. Quang Nam Club was heart-stopping...

Quang Nam is BREATHE AND EXPLOSIVE,

At Quy Nhon Stadium, people did not see the fighting spirit of the martial arts team when Coach Tran Minh Chien's students were quickly led 0-4 in the first half. In the second half, Hanoi Club slowed down the pace of the match so the home team had 2 honorable goals. However, that was all Binh Dinh Club could do in this match, and the result was that they had to play in the first division next season. This made the relegation race an internal matter between Quang Nam Club and Da Nang Club.

At Tam Ky Stadium, Da Nang FC entered the match with determination and created many opportunities against SLNA, including Dinh Duy's missed penalty kick in the 9th minute. It can be seen that coach Le Duc Tuan did very well, helping to light up the fire of desire and confidence for the Han River team, causing SLNA with many young players to almost only be able to huddle together to defend. Meanwhile, the match situation at Pleiku Stadium was equally tense when at the end of the first half, the home team HAGL led Quang Nam with a score of 2-1.

However, things turned around at Tam Ky Stadium in the second half, when substitute Benjamin Kuku opened the score 1-0 for SLNA in the 66th minute. Almost immediately after that, Oduenyi scored to help Quang Nam Club equalize 2-2. In the 80th minute, after the ball hit the post 3 times and the crossbar 1 time, Da Nang Club found a goal, even 2 goals in a row. Van Long's shot hit the head of an SLNA player into the net in the 80th minute, before Minh Quang's cross-angle shot defeated goalkeeper Van Binh, helping the Han River team lead 2-1 from the 83rd minute. Tam Ky Stadium called, Pleiku Stadium responded when Ly Duc scored in the 84th minute to help HAGL lead Quang Nam Club 3-2. If this result remains the same, Quang Nam Club will have to play a play-off when they have the same 25 points as Da Nang but lose in terms of head-to-head record. But then Cao Hoang Minh's foul in extra time at Pleiku Stadium turned everything upside down. Atshimene successfully converted the penalty in the 90+4 minute, helping Quang Nam Club equalize 3-3 and officially stay in the league. In Tam Ky City, coach Le Duc Tuan and his team could not hide their disappointment, but were still full of confidence for the play-off match with Binh Phuoc Club at Thong Nhat Stadium on June 27.

Curtain call for National Cup

Also in round 26, striker Tien Linh had a powerful header to help Binh Duong Club beat Thanh Hoa Club 1-0. This was also his 14th goal this season, equal to Lucas (Hai Phong Club) and Alan of Hanoi Police Club (CAHN) in the race for the Golden Boot. At Lach Tray Stadium, The Cong Viettel team easily defeated Ho Chi Minh City Club, which had run out of motivation, thanks to 2 goals from Pedro Henrique and Huu Thang. At Hang Day Stadium, Gomes Hugo and Tuan Duong scored in turn to help CAHN Club defeat Hai Phong Team 2-0. With this result, CAHN Club ranked third overall and received the bronze medal, while Hanoi Club won the runner-up position. At Thien Truong Stadium, Brenner's penalty was enough for the team from Thanh Nam to have a narrow victory over Ha Tinh Club, contributing to the exciting championship celebration with fans.

The 2024-2025 V-League has ended, but the domestic season still has matches worth waiting for, most recently the two semi-final matches of the National Cup on June 26 between SLNA and Binh Duong Club at 6:00 p.m. at Vinh Stadium and CAHN Club against The Cong Viettel at 7:15 p.m. at Hang Day Stadium. The day after that will be the play-off match for the last spot in the V-League next season between Da Nang Club and Binh Phuoc Club. It is known that Mr. Son (Binh Phuoc Club) has offered a reward of up to 10 billion VND if Cong Phuong and his teammates win.
