And on the evening of July 23, SHB as a guest on Thong Nhat Stadium before Ho Chi Minh City club was in a “back against the wall” position when Ho Chi Minh City had the same 8 points with the bottom team of Da Nang.The home team of Thong Nhat Stadium won 1-0 and temporarily “escaped the black hole”, while this was the first defeat of coach Pham Minh Duc when he came to rescue the former king of SHB Da Nang.
Maybe before the “win or die” position of the host, SHB Da Nang raised the goal of having a point by playing defensive counter-attack. In terms of circumstances, it is clear that if SHB Da Nang leaves the Thong Nhat yard, one point is a success.

Coach Pham Minh Duc’s students did it within 80 minutes. Under the pressure of the hosts, goalkeeper Van Bieu of the away team almost completed the task excellently.

With this victory, Ho Chi Minh City is temporarily escaping from the “scythe of the black hole” reaching 11 points (same point with SHB Da Nang), and pushing B. Binh Duong to the bottom of the V-League group B with eight points. The dramatic final rounds of Group B are here…
