With their home-field advantage, SHB Da Nang were expected to clinch the full three points to improve their position in the standings. However, manager Le Huynh Duc’s side was troubled by the guests’ sharp counter-attacking style. Song Lam Nghe An threatened to score in the opening minutes as Olaha stole the ball and drove a shot off the post. After such a careless situation, SHB Da Nang played with greater precaution, creating a number of chances to open the scoring. Seconds before half time, naturalised forward Do Merlo produced a cunning header that unexpectedly hit the crossbar.

Ba Na Hills complex occupies a tourism peak in Da Nang
Sun Group chairman Dang Minh Truong spoke to VnExpress about how this complex took shape and how it was conceptualized and realized. - Why did the Sun Group invest in Ba Na Hills? - Honestly, when the leaders of the Danang People’s Committee asked other shareholders of Sun Group and I to invest in Ba Na (2007), we did not see the potential of this land.

Besides, the terrain was treacherous, making it difficult to build a cable car system. However, the determination of the city’s leaders and support from locals was a constant motivation for us to develop the project. During the construction process, the city extended a number of favorable conditions and incentives to Sun Group. We saw the determination of the city, and were keen to invest in earnest.
