Matches in the 20^th round of the 2018 V-League took place at stadiums across the country on 20, 21 and 22 July.

SHB DN and Binh Duong players

Last Saturday, SHB Da Nang continued to disappoint their fans with a 4-1 away loss to Binh Duong.

SHB’s coach Nguyen Minh Phuong once again changed his team’s counter-attacking formation. It is worth mentioning that his change not only did not bring expected results but also made SHB players be in a stalemate.

In addition, there was too much space left between SHB’s midfielders and strikers, facilitating their rivals to threaten their goal.

By contrast, taking the advantage of playing at home, Binh Duong started the game with confidence.

Midfielder Thanh Thao scored a brilliant opener for the hosts in the 27^th minute with a powerful header.

In the 34^th minute, midfielder Kouassi Yao Hermann’s accurate shot from distance levelled the score at 1-1 for SHB.

However, only 7 minutes later, SHB’s loose defence provided striker Tien Linh with the opportunity to increase the score to 2-1 for Binh Duong.

In the 50^th minute, striker Chinedu Udoka Onyelonu’s shot raised the score to 3-1, and then the foreign player completed his double for Binh Duong in the 61^st minute.

                              Can Tho 1-3 Sai Gon
