On the evening of May 3, Hong Linh Ha Tinh club welcomed Binh Duong at home. In the 5th minute, Ha Duc Chinh scored an early goal to help the away team open the score.
However, Janclesio's red card in the 14th minute put Binh Duong in a difficult position. In a one-on-one situation, Hong Linh Ha Tinh easily defeated their opponent with a final score of 3-1. The home team's goals were scored by Geovane, Trong Hoang and an own goal by Minh Trong.
The victory in round 21 of V.League helped Hong Linh Ha Tinh maintain 4th place on the rankings. They have 34 points and are only 2 points behind The Cong Viettel.
Meanwhile, Binh Duong is ranked 8th with 25 points. The team from the land of Thu is at risk of falling into the relegation group after this round ends, especially when the opponents behind are chasing very closely.
The later match was the confrontation between Hai Phong and Song Lam Nghe An at Lach Tray Stadium. Although the Hai Phong team competed aggressively and created many dangerous opportunities, they were rejected by the post, the crossbar and the excellence of goalkeeper Van Viet.
In the end, the two teams drew a regrettable 0-0, making the relegation race more unpredictable.
With this result, Hai Phong temporarily rose to 7th with 25 points. They are equal in points with Binh Duong but have a better side index. Song Lam Nghe An has 1 more point to gradually widen the gap with the 2 teams behind, Binh Dinh and Da Nang.
