On the evening of September 27, at Go Dau Stadium, Becamex HCMC club continued to extend their disappointing streak when they lost 1-2 to Da Nang in round 5 of V.League 2025-2026.
The home team started smoothly with Ugochukwu Oduenyi opening the scoring in the 4th minute. However, the double from striker Milan Makaric in the 26th and 90+3rd minutes helped Da Nang win the first victory of the season, while putting Becamex HCMC in a difficult situation with 5 consecutive defeats in all competitions.
At the post-match press conference, coach Nguyen Anh Duc faced questions about the risk of losing his seat after a series of poor results. The former national team player shared: "When the team loses a lot, of course the head coach will take responsibility. When I came here, I always wanted the team to develop in accordance with the orientation. I came here to contribute so I don't worry about that. And we should not answer that question at this time.
Evaluating the performance of his students, coach Anh Duc said that the team played well but was unlucky: "I was quite regretful because the whole team played very well, creating many opportunities. In football, we need more luck but today we did not have it, that is one of the factors leading to failure.
But I do not hide from responsibility. The first person responsible is the head coach. Thank you to the fans and supporters who are with the team, that is very precious".
He also emphasized the need to quickly improve the defense to escape the difficult period: "In the immediate future, we need to improve the defense. We always overcome this weakness through training sessions. If he can do it, the team will gradually improve. I don't blame the players for anything either, they are really unlucky. If I were luckier, I would have scored.
With 5 consecutive losses, Becamex HCMC is under a lot of pressure. The future of coach Nguyen Anh Duc has become a topic of interest as the city team needs to find victory soon to improve their position on the V.League rankings.
