SHB Da Nang claimed a 1-1 home draw against Sanna Khanh Hoa in Sunday’s exciting match at the Chi Lang Stadium, and the point helps them climb one place in the V-league to 4^th from bottom.

This was the second match this season that SHB DN fielded a team without any foreign players in it.  Midfielder Ngoc Thang played as the main striker, whilst Vu Phong played in the second striker position.  The midfield quartet of Nguyen Sa, Quoc Anh, Anh Khoa and Minh Tam took responsibility for providing support for both the defensive and attacking lines.

Then Sanna Khanh Hoa levelled the game with another devilish free kick scored by their striker Uche in the 79^th minute.
