SLNA’s Early Missed Chance and Disallowed Goal
In the 11th minute, SLNA’s Hoàng Văn Khánh launched a precise cross toward Trần Mạnh Quỳnh, who broke into the penalty area. However, Quỳnh’s shot veered wide of the post, missing a potential opener. Just two minutes later, SLNA regained possession, but their attack faltered as CLB Đà Nẵng’s Vũ Văn Sơn fumbled a pass, allowing Fortes to cut the ball and strike.
The goal was initially celebrated, but VAR review overturned the decision, citing a handball by Fortes. The disallowed goal left SLNA frustrated, with the match remaining scoreless at halftime.
Penalty Decisions and the Turning Point in the Match
The second half saw little change in momentum until Phút 55, when Đỗ Phi Long’s clumsy challenge on Vương Văn Huy in the box gifted SLNA a penalty. Olaha stepped up and coolly converted the spot-kick, giving SLNA the lead. CLB Đà Nẵng’s efforts to equalize intensified, but SLNA’s defense, led by Quế Ngọc Hải, held firm.
Despite multiple attacks, the visitors could not break through, leaving SLNA to take the 1-0 victory.
League Implications and SLNA’s Secure Position
The result solidified SLNA’s position in the top half of the table, with 23 points securing their safety. Meanwhile, CLB Đà Nẵng’s 12-point tally left them clinging to the relegation battle, matching PVF-CAND but trailing in goal difference. The match underscored SLNA’s resilience, while CLB Đà Nẵng’s struggles highlight the challenges of maintaining consistency.
