Nearly a year after a serious injury at Hang Day, Bui Tien Dung has returned to play and contributed to helping SHB Da Nang overcome Hanoi in the 2026-2027 National Cup qualifiers.
This is Bui Tien Dung's first match since he broke his anterior cruciate ligament and fractured his knee joint in the match against The Cong Viettel on October 20, 2025. Nearly a year later, the Thanh Hoa goalkeeper returned to play.
Today is the return day. I once suffered a serious injury right on this court and now return to play here. It's really a great day," Bui Tien Dung shared.
In this match, SHB Da Nang had the opening goal in the 19th minute. Kalvin Luong took advantage of the space in the penalty area to put the away team ahead. Hanoi FC quickly responded and found an equalizer in the 28th minute with a technical handling by Van Quyet before passing to Jung to finish close range.
After the break, the two teams maintained a tight game. Hanoi had a chance to take the lead, but Van Quyet hit the crossbar in the 45+3 minute. SHB Da Nang also created some dangerous situations but could not score more goals.
In the penalty shootout, goalkeeper Bui Tien Dung saved 2 penalty shootouts of Hanoi, helping SHB Da Nang win 4-3 to enter the 1/8 round of the 2026-2027 National Cup.
We have prepared for the penalty shootout because this is the National Cup. I and the coaching staff and players prepared as much as possible, and at the same time gathered the opponent's penalty shooting habits to have the best preparation and achieve today's result. I am the person standing on the field and taking responsibility for doing what the brothers have prepared," Bui Tien Dung said.
Before closing the interview, the goalkeeper born in 1995 added: "This is also the first time I have won against Hanoi. This joy is sent to Da Nang football fans".
