SHB DN’s striker Do Merlo

The SHB Da Nang 'warriors' were predicted to face a tough match against their strong contenders because Quang Nam had won four consecutive matches and stayed 4^th on the ranking table before meeting with SHB DN.

Therefore, they created many chances to score. In particular, striker Djicka Gassissou Aime opened the scoring for the guests in the 27^th minute, and striker Do Merlo scored in the 55^th minute to make the score to 2-0.

Three minutes later, striker Gabriel Davis dos Santos narrowed the gap to 1-2 for the home team.

SHB DN continued boosting their attacking options, and their great efforts were paid off as Frizoni Bernardo and Djicka Gassissou Aime raised the score 1-4 to the visitors.

With the victory, SHB DN have overcome their crisis period, and created a safe distance from the bottom-of-the-table teams.
