Matches in the 6^th round of the 2014 V-League took place at stadiums across the country on 21 and 22 February.

SHB Da Nang ended a run of 3 consecutive drawn matches by defeating Song Lam Nghe An 2-1 last Friday at the Chi Lang Stadium.  Midfielder Thanh Hung nearly opened the scoring in both the 31^st and 36^th minutes.  Then, thanks to accurate passes from SHB DN’s striker Merlo, midfielders Vu Phong and Thanh Hung scored in the 49^th and 51^st minutes respectively.

However, in the 77^th minute, a mistake by SHB DN’s Vu Phong allowed the visitors to narrow the gap to 2-1 with a goal from their second half substitute Ndjodo.  The last few minutes were tense, but SHB DN managed to hold on to their lead.
