Elsewhere, Quang Ninh
Coal have returned to the top three after a 4-0 victory over visiting Da My Nghe Saigon, with goals by
Tuan Anh, Samson Kayode and
Phu Thang.
Dong Nai
were missing five key players Nguyen Quan, Tan Duc, Isaac, Thanh HOan and Le Hoa, due to injuries
and suspension for their home game with The Cong Viettel.
However, The Cong Viettel, who had
been thought to have stronger squad, were unable to
dominate the game.
Dong Nai,
with their home advantage, could have opened the scoring after 12 minutes with Dinh Khang hitting the post.
Another opportunity of the hosts
went to Thierry, who finished inches wide.
Despite being held, The Cong Viettel
remain on top as An Giang
surprisingly lost 1-0 to Military Region Five.
An Giang
dominated the game but failed to create chances while Military Region Five were
unlucky to earn three points with Thanh Nam heading
home a winner on 76 minutes.
