Matches in the 5th round of the 2014 V-League took place at stadiums across the country on 15 and 16 February.

Last Saturday SHB Da Nang left their home fans disappointed again as they could only manage a draw at home, 2-2 against Quang Ninh.

SHB DN took control of the whole game, and their dominance paid off in the 72nd minute when second-half substitute Quach Tan opened the scoring for them.  Five minutes later, midfielder Thanh Hung scored the second.  SHB DN were leading 2-0 at 90 minutes, but their loose defence gave their opponents the opportunity to level the score with 2 goals in the very last minutes of stoppage time.

In the other matches, Ninh Binh were held to a 2-2 draw at the Ninh Binh Stadium by Dong Tam Long An, while Dong Nai were beaten 4-1 in Go Dau Stadium by Binh Duong.  QNK Quang Nam suffered a 3-5 defeat to Hoang Anh Gia Lai at the Tam Ky Stadium.

After the first 5 rounds, Thanh Hoa currently top the league with 13 points, followed by HN T&T on 9, and Quang Ninh on 8.  SHB DN remain in 6th place in the league with 6 points.  Long An and An Giang are the bottom 2, with 3 and 1 points respectively.
