Thanh Hoa equalized in the 94th minute, Binh Dinh Club temporarily escaped the bottom of the table: Still on the brink of the abyss!

Binh Dinh Club drew 1-1 with Thanh Hoa Club thanks to a goal in the 90+4 minute by Vu Minh Tuan, in the late match of round 24 of V-League 2024 - 2025.

Binh Dinh Club conceded a goal

Binh Dinh FC is caught in a fierce relegation race with Da Nang FC. Coach Tran Minh Chien and his team are at the bottom of the table with 20 points after 22 matches, 1 point behind Da Nang and with 2 matches left to play. If they can get at least 1 point in 2 make-up matches, Coach Tran Minh Chien and his team will push their opponents back to the bottom of the table.

The match against Thanh Hoa in round 24 of the V-League at 6pm today (May 27) is an opportunity for Binh Dinh Club to break away. The home team Thanh Hoa is on the decline with only 1 win in the last 15 matches in the V-League, leading to coach Tomislav Steinbruckner once intending to resign. However, the Thanh team does not give up easily.

It was Thanh Hoa FC's determination that made the match with Binh Dinh so heated. Both teams chose to attack to find a goal, when there was no way back. In the 13th minute, Thanh Hoa FC counterattacked very quickly, when the ball was passed to Lucas Ribamar to escape on the left edge of the penalty area. After a step, Ribamar shot over the crossbar. In the 22nd minute, it was Vo Nguyen Hoang's turn to penetrate from the left wing and shoot from a distance. This time, the ball missed the post.

Although Binh Dinh Club had equal possession of the ball, the coordination between Cao Tran Hoang Hung, Nguyen Duc Hoang Minh... lacked precision.

In the 36th minute, Thanh Hoa FC found the lead. In a not-so-dangerous attack by the home team, Binh Dinh defenders fumbled and cleared the ball. Goalkeeper Huynh Tuan Linh rushed out to close the angle but was too late. The ball bounced back and Pham Truong Tinh quickly finished into the empty net to open the score. Binh Dinh FC not only conceded a goal, but also lost goalkeeper Tuan Linh. The former Quang Ninh goalkeeper suffered a head injury, and could only hold on for a few more minutes before asking to be taken off to make way for reserve goalkeeper Nguyen Hoai Anh.

Binh Dinh Club was close to equalizing when Duong Van Khoa escaped to face Y Eli Nie's goal in the 42nd minute, however, Van Khoa's shot missed the goal very far, in the context of being pressed by Thanh Hoa defenders.

Dramatic extra time

Binh Dinh Club flooded Thanh Hoa's field in the second half, eager to find an equalizer. Coach Tran Minh Chien's students understood that another defeat would push the team from the land of Vo closer to the first division.

However, the poor quality of attack prevented Binh Dinh Club from turning the tables. On the other hand, Thanh Hoa Club attacked less, but with great quality, with quick transitions, focusing on Ribamar.

In the 77th minute, Ribamar had a chance to extinguish the hopes of the visiting team Binh Dinh when he escaped to face goalkeeper Hoai Anh's goal, but in the decisive turn to shoot, the Thanh Hoa foreign player's shot could not beat the visiting team's defender.

Binh Dinh FC's last-ditch effort was rewarded in the 90+4 minute, this time, it was Thanh Hoa's defense's turn to make a mistake. From Van Khoa's cross, the home team's defender fumbled and cleared the ball with his thigh to the exact spot chosen by midfielder Vu Minh Tuan. Minh Tuan rushed in and finished close to the goal, tying the score at 1-1 for Binh Dinh FC.

Winning a valuable point at Thanh Hoa Stadium, Binh Dinh Club rose to second-to-last place with 21 points after 23 matches, equal to the bottom team Da Nang (played 1 match less than the opponent) but ranked higher due to a better goal difference.

However, if Binh Dinh and Da Nang are still tied at the end of the season, the head-to-head difference criterion will be taken into account for the overall ranking (and then the goal difference). In this criterion, Da Nang Club is better than Binh Dinh Club.

Therefore, to avoid direct relegation, Binh Dinh Club must have more points than its opponent. The road to relegation for coach Tran Minh Chien and his team is still difficult.
