Without Phan Van Duc, Song Lam Nghe An lost to SHB Da Nang

The two teams started the game quite slowly in the first minutes. The Da Nang players were the ones who had the first dangerous opportunity in the 8th minute.

Phan Van Long's effort to dribble and cross the ball inside caused trouble for SLNA's goal. Luckily for the away team, Gustavo was able to clear the danger in time.

At minute 21,SLNAgot the answer with a long shot from Ho Sy Sam. However, the shot did not have enough power and did not trouble goalkeeper Tuan Manh of SHB Da Nang. Just 1 minute later, the team on the Han River realized the opportunity to open the score.

From a distance of about 30m, Nguyen Cong Nhat fired a shot from afar, creating a masterpiece goal that completely defeated goalkeeper Van Hung. The goal made the home team dominate and play more comfortably with 56% ball possession.

In the second half, coach Quang Truong decided to send in Phu Nguyen, Ngoc Duc and Phuc Tinh to replace Dinh Tien, Sy Nam and Dinh Dong.

In the 52nd minute, from a lack of concentration in the home team's defense, Phu Nguyen fired a very fast and dangerous shot. Unfortunately, goalkeeper Tuan Manh played calmly and saved a clear goal.

However, just 1 minute later, the home team scored a goal to widen the gap. 17-year-old player Phi Hoang passed Xuan Manh, conveniently passed the ball inside for foreign player Akinade to tap the ball into the goal. The score was 2-0 for SHB Da Nang.

In the 59th minute, thanks to Peter Samuel's effort, Ho Phuc Tinh had a chance to reduce the score but his shot was too weak. In the following minutes, Filipe Martins and Sy Sam had chances, but SLNA still had no goals because SLNA's shots were inaccurate.
