Dong Thap Club gained a valuable win against Khatoco Khanh Hoa Club, easing their relegation race concerns. PVF-CAND Youth Club overtook Van Hien University Club with a 2-1 victory…

Dong Thap Club aimed determinedly for their second win of this season right at their home ground. The challenge for the lotus-land team was significant as the visiting side was Khatoco Khanh Hoa – a club still with chances to squeeze into the top 3. Overcoming the challenge, the home team Dong Thap achieved a 2-0 win over the coastal Nha Trang club to secure all 3 points.

The 3 points did not change Dong Thap Club’s position on the standings but helped them widen the gap with the bottom-placed Ho Chi Minh City Youth Club to 9 points (13 points versus 4 points). Coach Ngo Quang Sang and his team want to accumulate more points to feel safer in their relegation battle over the remaining 6 matches, ahead of Long An Club and Ho Chi Minh City Youth Club.

Khatoco Khanh Hoa Club faced difficulties in their pursuit of the top 3 after losing to Dong Thap Club. Following the defeat, the coastal Nha Trang club remained in 7th place on the standings, facing the risk of being further distanced in points by the leading teams. In the second half of the season, Khatoco Khanh Hoa Club could not maintain the high form they had in the first half, suffering consecutive losses and only managing a win against Ho Chi Minh City Youth Club.

The impressive streak of Van Hien University Club also ended as they lost to PVF-CAND Youth Club, simultaneously surrendering the 5th position on the standings to that opponent.
