The visiting team was also full of determination going into the match at Chi Lang Stadium, as they were in a precarious position, only above the second-to-last team in the standings.
Although the gap is 7 points, if the two teams below them manage to close the gap with only 4 rounds remaining in the season, anything could happen. Aware of the importance of each match in these rounds, both teams entered the game with a burning desire to secure all 3 points.
Therefore, the pace of the game was high from the start, but SHB Da Nang had better ball control. They defended and counter-attacked with a coherent and sharp game plan, with striker Makaric shining with his mobility and flexibility in attack.
Da Nang created the first dangerous opportunity in the 11th minute when Dinh Duy skillfully dribbled the ball and provided a perfect assist for Makaric, but the Serbian striker failed to score when facing goalkeeper Minh Toan.
Shortly afterwards, Vi Hao of Becamex Ho Chi Minh City responded with a shot that went wide of the post in the 14th minute. After relentless efforts, in the 27th minute, from a throw-in, Dinh Duy made a clever move on the left wing to allow Nguyen Hoang to receive the ball, control it with two touches, and finish accurately to open the scoring for the team from the Han River.
For the remainder of the first half, Dinh Duy scored against Becamex Ho Chi Minh City, but VAR disallowed the goal due to offside. However, in the 45+2 minute, Que Ngoc Hai created a beautiful opportunity for Makaric to dribble past the visiting team's defenders and shoot into the near corner of the net, increasing the score to 2-0.
Throughout the second half, despite pushing forward and pressing, Becamex Ho Chi Minh City's attack lacked the sharpness to penetrate the home team's concentrated defense.
Meanwhile, the home team continued to create dangerous situations for the Ho Chi Minh City team, but Makaric, Dinh Duy, and Phi Long all failed to capitalize on them.
In the 89th minute, Vi Hao dribbled the ball inside the penalty area and was fouled, but the referee did not award Becamex Ho Chi Minh City a penalty.
By defeating Becamex Ho Chi Minh City 2-0, SHB Da Nang gained 3 points, bringing their total to 16 and temporarily moving up to 13th place, 2 points ahead of PVF-People's Police, who were relegated to the bottom of the table with only 14 points, while Becamex Ho Chi Minh City remained in 12th place with 21 points.
This evening (May 9th), the matches of round 22 will continue at the Ninh Binh and Thanh Hoa stadiums: Ninh Binh vs. Hai Phong and Dong A Thanh Hoa vs. Hanoi FC.
