The focus of the 4th round of the first division football tournament on the afternoon of November 5th was the match between the 2 teams considered to have the most ambition to be promoted to V-League, PVF-CAND and SHB Da Nang.
If coach Truong Viet Hoang's team, after 2 wins (against Hue, Dong Thap) and 1 draw (against Truong Tuoi Binh Phuoc ), is taking steady steps to strengthen its determination, on the contrary, PVF-CAND had a rather disappointing start for fans.
Thanh Nhan could not overcome the pursuit of Vo Ngoc Toan (8- Da Nang )
Coach Mauro Jeronimo and his team played 0-0 draws against Hoa Binh and Dong Nai, showing a rather deadlocked style of play despite having many U.23 and U.20 names such as Thanh Nhan, Van Do, Cong Den, Duc Phu, Bao Long, Nhat Nam, Thai Ba Dat, Ngoc Son and Minh Binh. Many people hoped that returning to their home field, PVF-CAND's style of play would improve, and the attack would have more sophisticated arrangements. However, throughout the 90 minutes, PVF-CAND players controlled the ball a lot, deployed the ball quickly, but played ineffectively.
Huynh Minh Doan (66) is always being suppressed by Phi Hoang (21) of Da Nang.
Most of the attacks were still focused on Van Do on the left wing, but the deep passing style that took advantage of the width of the field could not be used against the defense that was always focused and blocked the gaps of the Han River team. In addition, PVF-CAND lacked any breakthroughs, so it was not difficult for Luong Duy Cuong and his teammates to stop them. The most dangerous situation that PVF-CAND created was at the end of the second half when Thai Ba Dat was sent onto the field. But his efforts still could not lead to a goal for the home team.
Minh Quang (38) of Da Nang often creates trouble for the PVF-CAND defense.
With another 0-0 draw, PVF-CAND really had an extremely difficult start. The midfield and attack were struggling as if they could not find a way out. The roles of key players such as Cong Den, Thanh Nhan, Van Do seemed to "disappear" when they continued to show a lack of creativity, making the performance extremely dull. Hopefully, the nearly 1 month break during FIFA Days will help PVF-CAND to retrain themselves so that in the next away matches against Long An or Phu Tho, they will find a goal to break the deadlock. As for Da Nang, although they missed an unfortunate situation at the end of the first half when Cong Nhat kicked the ball in an open position and hit goalkeeper Phi Minh Long, this second consecutive draw helped them continue to lead the rankings.

The best player in round 5 was Ba Ria-Vung Tau, who won 4-0 against Dong Nai in the Southeast derby. If Tran Ky Anh had a good pass for Le Bang Gia Huy to open the score in the first half, then in the remaining 45 minutes, the home team completely dominated their opponents, especially when Dong Nai raised their squad to find an equalizer.

The excellence of winger Luong Thanh Ngoc Lam and striker Nguyen Khanh Duy, who entered the field in the second half, helped the counterattacks of the team led by coach Nguyen Minh Phuong to be extremely sharp. After right-back Tuan Phong raised the score to 2-0, Ngoc Lam and Khanh Duy scored the remaining 2 goals to seal the result of 4-0 for Ba Ria-Vung Tau. Notably, Ngoc Lam scored his 3rd goal after a double against Phu Tho in round 1.
In the home match, Ba Ria-Vung Tau team delighted the fans.
Another home team that had joy was Dong Thap when 2 goals in the second half from Nguyen Kim Nhat, a player added from Viettel and striker Nguyen Cong Thanh defeated Hoa Binh FC led by coach Pham Thanh Luong. Winning 2-0, Dong Thap had their first victory after 2 losses, temporarily overcoming the difficult period to look forward to the matches against Ba Ria-Vung Tau and Phu Dong Ninh Binh after the FIFA Days. Meanwhile, Hoa Binh with 2 consecutive losses (losing to Hue and Dong Thap) after 2 previous good draws (drawing with Truong Tuoi Binh Phuoc and PVF-CAND) has fallen to the lower group. Coach Pham Thanh Luong needs to renew the way of playing to bring about better results.

Goalkeeper Thanh Tuan played impressively against Hoa Binh's stormy moves.
Meanwhile, after two consecutive wins (against Phu Dong Ninh Binh and Hoa Binh), Hue FC returned home and were held to a 0-0 draw by Phu Tho, the team considered the weakest in the league. Many opportunities were created but Ho Thanh Minh, Tran Thanh, and Viet Hieu all missed them. However, Hue is still temporarily confident in the top group and hopes to play better when they meet Ba Ria-Vung Tau and Dong Thap at home in December.
Ho Thanh Minh is stuck in the face of the pursuit of Phu Tho FC defenders.
Also unfortunately tied was the home team Truong Tuoi Binh Phuoc. Due to heavy rain, the match between the home team and Phu Dong Ninh Binh was delayed by 1 hour. On the slippery field, both teams played very hard but many opportunities passed by. The away team had many better arrangements but were saved many times by the home team's defense, especially goalkeeper Doan Huy Hoang. Meanwhile, coach Nguyen Anh Duc brought in "lucky god" Dieu Quy in the second half. He himself had a beautiful shot from a distance to defeat Phu Dong Ninh Binh in the 82nd minute.
But the home team holding the gold dropped the gold when they were equalized in the 90+8 minute despite referee Nguyen Van Phuc having 5 minutes of extra time. The direct free kick was so good by midfielder Nguyen Van Van that the ball flew straight into the top corner, helping Phu Dong Ninh Binh score, causing the joy of coach Nguyen Van Dan and the whole team. This draw prevented Binh Phuoc from rising to the same level as Da Nang when they only had 6 points, ranked below Phu Dong Ninh Binh with 7 points.
