Da Nang missed the golden opportunity, making the relegation battle even more tense.

(Football results) - Expected to create a turning point in the survival struggle, but Da Nang was powerless against Ha Tinh's defense and only secured one point following a scoreless draw.

The pressure to win was not enough to help Da Nang make a difference during their away match at Ha Tinh's stadium in round 25 of the 2025/26 V.League. After 90 tense minutes, the two teams drew 0-0 in a game with very few clear-cut chances, making the relegation battle for the Han River club even tougher ahead of the final round.

Before kickoff, Da Nang was seen as the team under significantly more pressure. While Ha Tinh had already secured their survival and faced less performance pressure, the visitors needed a victory to keep their hopes of overtaking direct rivals alive. However, despite their determination, Da Nang could not find an important goal. The 0-0 draw significantly reduced their chances of creating a turning point in the survival race.

From the opening minutes, both sides started with a relatively open game and continuously pushed the ball into the opponent's half. However, final passes lacked the necessary accuracy. Ha Tinh created the first notable chance when Le Viktor fired a powerful shot in the 9th minute after a favorable wall pass from a foreign teammate, but goalkeeper Van Toan stayed focused to make the save.

The home team had another opportunity in the 25th minute. Charles made a smart run following a beautiful combination on the right flank, but the foreign player's shot went just wide of the goal. For Da Nang, the visitors struggled against Ha Tinh's well-organized defense and failed to create much real pressure in the first half.

The final minutes of the first half became more lively with consecutive corner kicks. However, neither Helerson for Ha Tinh nor Do Phi Long for Da Nang could take advantage. The two teams ended the first 45 minutes with a 0-0 draw in a tight and cautious contest.

In the second half, the scenario did not change much as both sides continued to prioritize solidity. Ha Tinh's clearest chance came in the 63rd minute when Charles passed back favorably for Trung Nguyen to rush forward and shoot, but the ball went just wide of the post. Ten minutes later, Da Nang responded with Makaric breaking the offside trap. The striker raced through to face goalkeeper Thanh Tung but could not beat the home team's shot-stopper.

In the final minutes, Da Nang tried to increase pressure to find a decisive goal. However, the last notable incident of the match was also neutralized by Thanh Tung, who read the situation well to block Makaric's cross. The final whistle blew with a 0-0 score, a result that extended Ha Tinh's stable run but saw Da Nang drop a valuable opportunity in the relegation race entering the decisive phase.

The 1-1 draw against CAHN in the previous round helped Ha Tinh maintain a positive mindset before hosting Da Nang in round 25 of the 2025/26 V.League. Although they only got one point against the newly crowned champions, that result was still considered positive for the Hong Mountain team, especially since they had secured survival early.

However, with less pressure on results, Ha Tinh's motivation is a big question mark. This factor has drawn particular attention from experts ahead of the clash with Da Nang. While the home team is safe, the Han River club enters the match with an absolute must-win task to keep their relegation hopes alive this season.

Da Nang currently sits second from bottom on the table with 20 points after 24 rounds. The gap between them and Becamex TP.HCM is only one point, while HAGL is just three points ahead of the Han River side. Therefore, if they can take all three points at Ha Tinh's stadium, coach Le Duc Tuan's team has every chance to improve their position and create a turning point in the survival struggle.

Da Nang's opportunity becomes even clearer as their direct rivals in this round all face difficult challenges. Becamex TP.HCM and HAGL are predicted to have tough matches, meaning the risk of dropping points is entirely possible. If they seize the moment, Da Nang could climb up and gain a big advantage before the final round of the season.

Nevertheless, the biggest issue for the Han River club remains their ability to capitalize on opportunities. In many recent matches, Da Nang created numerous dangerous situations but lacked sharpness in crucial moments. This has caused them to drop many important points, even in games they seemed to have in hand, ultimately settling for draws or defeats.

Therefore, the away trip to Ha Tinh is not only a life-or-death match in terms of points but also a test of character for Da Nang. With the chance to jump ahead so close and their rivals at risk of slipping up, the Han River team needs to make the most of this opportunity. If they fail to secure all three points, they will have only themselves to blame when the relegation race enters its most decisive phase.

Expected lineups for Ha Tinh vs Da Nang:

Ha Tinh:Thanh Tung, Duy Thuong, Van Huy, Manh Hung, Cong Thanh, Van Hiep, Onoja, Le Viktor, Trung Nguyen, Costa Weder, Atshemene.

Da Nang:Van Toan, Hong Phuc, Ngoc Hai, Phi Long, Van Son, Duy Thang, Phi Hoang, Brandon Lopez, Minh Quang, Henen David, Makaric.
