Bui Tien Dung was seriously injured and had to leave the field on a stretcher.

After 3 rounds of absence, Bui Tien Dung returned to the starting position for Da Nang in the match where the Han River team traveled to the capital to play against The Cong Viettel in round 7. However, the joy of returning to play for the goalkeeper from Thanh Hoa did not last long when he suffered a serious injury just a few minutes after being on the field.

The incident occurred in the 16th minute when Dung “goalkeeper” rushed out of the penalty area to compete for a high ball with striker Lucao. The former Vietnam national team goalkeeper jumped high, trying to clear the ball in a fierce aerial battle. However, after a strong collision in the air with the home team player, he landed poorly and immediately lay on the ground in pain, holding his leg.

The medical team quickly entered the field to provide first aid. After a few minutes, Bui Tien Dung had to leave the field on a stretcher, worrying his teammates and coaching staff. He likely suffered a serious injury to his ankle or knee. VAR later determined that neither player was at fault in this dispute, and the referee allowed the match to continue.

The extent of Tien Dung's injury is currently unknown, but this will be a serious loss for Da Nang . His experience and good reflexes are expected to help the Han River team improve their performance during the current difficult period. However, this injury may cause Da Nang to continue to rely on young goalkeeper Van Bieu for the rest of the season.

Before round 7, Da Nang had only 5 points and was at the bottom of the table. Losing an experienced stopper like Bui Tien Dung is a big loss for the Han River team's journey to stay in the league.
